The war is in the mop up stage according to Netanyahu. He plans on totally destroying Hamas, even though Biden, the Deep State and America’s allies are trying their best to let Hamas survive.
The Israeli military has broadened its evacuation mandate to encompass all of Gaza City, compelling tens of thousands of Palestinians to flee from their homes. This expansion follows a series of evacuation orders earlier in the week targeting several neighborhoods within the city.
In an effort to facilitate the safe passage of civilians, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced the suspension of inspections along two major roads in Gaza City. This measure is intended to allow residents to reach humanitarian zones more safely and swiftly as the city remains a perilous combat zone. According to an IDF flier distributed across the city, Tariq Bin Ziyad and Omar Al-Mukhtar Streets are designated as safe passages for civilians to move west to Al-Rashid (Al-Bahr) Street and then south, while Al-Wahda and Khalil Al-Wazir streets are safe routes to the east towards the Al-Zaytoun neighborhood and further south to Salah Al-Din Street.

Amidst the chaos, Gaza City endured heavy shelling overnight on Wednesday. A local journalist reported that the building he and his family were sheltering in was struck, forcing them to relocate once again.
The situation in Gaza has deteriorated severely. Mahmoud Bassal, Gaza’s Civil Defense spokesman, reported numerous fatalities in the industrial zone and financial hub of the city. Many Palestinians remain trapped in the Jordanian hospital and at Al-Aqsa University, with conditions growing increasingly dire. Bassal noted that all bakeries in Gaza have been shut down, either due to direct orders or because they are located in high-risk zones, leaving residents without access to food.
Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors Without Borders) announced the closure of its last operational health facility in northern Gaza following Israel’s evacuation orders. Teams continued to provide patient care up until the final moments before fleeing from areas under heavy fire.

Displaced residents, seen walking along Salah Al-Din Street, carried their belongings, with some waving makeshift white flags. Baraa, a young man pushing a bicycle, expressed the dire situation, stating that he and his brother had stayed as long as they could in northern Gaza but had to leave due to the lack of food. A woman from Shajaiya, one of Gaza City’s largest neighborhoods, recounted the relentless shelling and the tragic sight of many dead in the streets.
The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) warned that the directive for residents to leave Gaza City could exacerbate the already dire humanitarian crisis for displaced communities. Since Sunday, the IDF has been urging 250,000 residents to move to “safe zones” further south, in Deir al-Balah and al-Zawaida.

The IDF maintains that these evacuation orders are crucial to prevent civilians from being caught in renewed operations targeting areas where Hamas is trying to re-establish its presence. The military emphasizes its efforts to avoid civilian casualties.
Hamas has condemned the evacuations, stating they undermine ceasefire and hostage negotiation efforts. Residents, like Mahmoud Al Shaqra, recount the perpetual displacement and danger, describing Gaza City as destroyed and unlivable, with no food, water, or safety.
As the conflict intensifies, the plight of Gaza’s civilians deepens, caught in the crossfire of an unrelenting war.
Major Points
- The Israeli military has expanded its evacuation orders to the entirety of Gaza City, following initial evacuations of several neighborhoods earlier in the week.
- To facilitate civilian movement to safer areas, the IDF has designated certain roads in Gaza City as safe passages, suspending inspections to allow quicker access to humanitarian zones.
- Gaza City has experienced heavy shelling, resulting in significant casualties and forcing many residents, including local journalists, to relocate multiple times.
- Humanitarian conditions are worsening, with all bakeries in Gaza shut down, Médecins Sans Frontières closing its last health facility in northern Gaza, and many residents lacking access to food and basic necessities.
- The UN and humanitarian organizations warn that the expanded evacuations could exacerbate the already dire situation for displaced communities, while Hamas claims the evacuations threaten ongoing ceasefire and hostage negotiations.
