Israeli army orders Gaza City suburb evacuated
The Israeli military issued new evacuation orders to residents in areas of an eastern Gaza City suburb, setting off a new wave of displacement on Sunday, and a Gaza hospital director was wounded in an Israeli drone attack, Palestinian medics said.
The new orders for the Shejaia suburb posted by the Israeli army spokesperson on X/Twitter on Saturday night were blamed on Palestinian terrorists firing rockets from that heavily built-up district in the north of the Gaza Strip.
"For your safety, you must evacuate immediately to the south," the military's post said. The rocket volley on Saturday was claimed by Hamas' armed wing, which said it had targeted an Israeli army base over the border.

According to recent assessments by security officials, out of the 101 hostages, approximately 50 are believed to still be alive, including some foreign workers. The IDF is conducting sensitive operational activities and maneuvers to minimize harm to the hostages.
