Following the repeated calls for the residents of Gaza City to evacuate northern Gaza for their safety, due to the military activity in the area, the IDF enabled the evacuation of the Rantisi and Nasser hospitals.
IDF troops on Friday opened and secured an evacuation route, along which civilians can travel on foot and in ambulances.
During the IDF activity to secure the corridor, armed terrorists approached the troops and fired RPGs toward them. IDF troops struck the terrorists.
"The Hamas terrorist organization operates terrorist networks in civilian buildings while cynically exploiting them, including the Rantisi hospital," the IDF noted.
