The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have issued instructions for Gazans to evacuate the western region of the Gaza Strip. This development follows ongoing tensions in the area.

The Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT) has also made allegations against a United Nations official, stating that the individual has made false claims. This is not the first time COGAT has accused a UN official of dishonesty, as similar allegations have been made in the past.
