The Jerusalem Post reports: “More than 800,000 Palestinians have left Gaza City, as the IDF prepares to expand operations in the area, a security source said on Sunday.

According to Southern Command estimates, between 30,000 and 50,000 people have departed the city daily over the past week, and this number is expected to increase.

Defense officials said between 250,000 and 350,000 Palestinians are still inside Gaza City.

Officials praised the Southern Command’s evacuation plan, which anticipates the number of evacuees could soon reach one million. Unless there is a last-minute change, the next phases of the maneuver into the city center have already been approved.

Hamas’s attempts to keep civilians in northern Gaza and Gaza City have failed, despite the group using both persuasion and physical deterrence, including roadblocks and violence.
