Israeli military prepares to relocate residents to southern Gaza, spokesperson says

The Israeli military will begin providing tents and equipment to Gaza residents on Sunday, facilitating their relocation from combat zones to safer areas in the south, amidst plans for a new offensive to capture northern Gaza City. This escalation follows Hamas’s refusal to disarm without the establishment of an independent Palestinian state, complicating ceasefire efforts as Israel aims to defeat the group responsible for the October attacks that initiated the ongoing conflict.
