Israel announced plans to forcibly evacuate Palestinians from Gaza City to the south, declaring the city a battlefield. The move follows its pledge to capture Gaza’s largest urban center. The army said the UN and aid groups would provide tents and shelters through the Kerem Shalom crossing, though the UN has not confirmed its role. Palestinian group Islamic Jihad condemned the plan as a crime against humanity. Recent Israeli air and tank strikes have intensified around Zeitoun and Shujaiya.
