Israel's Netanyahu warns Gaza City residents to leave now ahead of ground 'manoeuvre'

On September 8, 2025, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned Gaza City residents to evacuate ahead of an intensified ground incursion by Israeli forces.
This escalation comes after the Israeli military launched an offensive in early August aimed at capturing Gaza City, following a deadly attack by Hamas on Israel in October 2023 that resulted in over 1,200 fatalities.
Israel's Defense Minister Israel Katz described an upcoming massive airstrike as a 'hurricane' to destroy Hamas targets, while the Israeli Air Force has taken down 50 high-rise terror towers in Gaza City over two days.
The Gaza Health Ministry reports more than 64,000 Palestinians killed since October 2023, mostly civilians, and recent strikes killed 40 Palestinians including journalist Osama Balousha, amid escalating international condemnation.
The operation heightened calls for ceasefire negotiations, with US President Donald Trump issuing Hamas a 'last warning' to accept a deal for hostage release or face destruction, while Spain banned weapons shipments to Israel amid growing diplomatic tensions.
