On August 16, local time, the Israeli Defense Forces launched an attack on the Gaza StripNorth of Khan Yunis and east of Deir al-BalahPalestiniansNew evacuation orders were issued, further shrinking the "humanitarian zone" designated by Israel.

The IDF said that since Palestinian militants used the "humanitarian zone" to carry out terrorist activities and fired rockets at Israel, it became dangerous to stay in the area. The IDF plans to launch an operation against the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) in the north of Khan Yunis, so several neighborhoods will no longer be considered part of the "humanitarian zone." The IDF said that the adjustment is aimed at reducing harm to civilians and stated that it will take strong action against Palestinian militants, so it called on residents in the north of Khan Yunis and the east of Deir al-Balah to temporarily evacuate to the adjusted "humanitarian zone."

The IDF appealed to the Palestinian people through leaflets dropped from aircraft, text messages, phone calls and media broadcasts. A military source said that hospitals in the area did not need to be evacuated and the IDF had informed Palestinian health officials and international community officials of this news.

It is reported that Deir al-Balah is one of the few areas in the Gaza Strip where the Israel Defense Forces have not sent ground troops for intensive operations. (CCTV reporter Wang Jingxiu)
