In a statement, the army added that its forces destroyed infrastructure, including a command and control complex of Hamas.
The statement indicated that the army “allowed the residents to evacuate the area,” stressing that it “continues its operations in the Gaza Strip.”
Eyewitnesses said that the battle of tanks and military vehicles had actually advanced east of the Shujaiya neighborhood, amid the movement of the population to the center and west of Gaza City.
Parts of the neighborhood witnessed a wide wave of displacement, on Thursday, after the Israeli occupation army made urgent warnings to the neighborhood residents and the neighboring neighborhoods, asking them to evacuate the area immediately.
The Israeli army demanded that these areas be evacuated and moved to the well -known shelter centers in the west of Gaza City.
These warnings forced thousands of families to go out in a new displacement, amid scenes that were repeated across the Gaza Strip.
