<p>The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/israel-defense-forces-idf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Israel Defense Forces (IDF)</a> urged people in Rafah to evacuate parts of the southern city in the Gaza Strip on Monday ahead of a possible <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/idf-pulls-ground-troops-from-southern-gaza-stresses-war-is-not-over-until-hostages-are-free" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ground operation</a> there in the fight against Hamas.</p>
<p>An estimated 100,000 people have been instructed to make their way to Muwasi, a coastal area that the IDF <a href="https://twitter.com/IDF/status/1787347748737421635" target="_blank" rel="noopener">designated</a> as a humanitarian area with hospitals, tents, food, water, medication, and other supplies.</p>
<p>Flyers with instructions to leave and maps were <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/middle-east/2024/05/06/idf-urges-rafah-evacuations-drops-flyers-in-gaza-attack-imminent/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reportedly dropped</a> into eastern Rafah. The IDF&#8217;s <a href="https://twitter.com/IDF/status/1787347748737421635" target="_blank" rel="noopener">post</a> to X said the message was also conveyed by phone and media broadcasts in Arabic.</p>
<p>&#8220;The IDF will continue pursuing Hamas everywhere in Gaza until all the hostages that they’re holding in captivity are back home,&#8221; the post added.</p>
<p>More than half the Gaza Strip’s 2.3 million population had gathered in Rafah as IDF forces engaged in a renewed armed conflict against Hamas following the group&#8217;s deadly attacks on Israel in October.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">The IDF has expanded the humanitarian area in Al-Mawasi to accommodate the increased levels of aid flowing into Gaza. This expanded humanitarian area includes field hospitals, tents and increased amounts of food, water, medication and additional supplies.</p>

<p>As some people reportedly <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2024/05/06/middleeast/israel-gaza-eastern-rafah-evacuation-notice-hnk-intl/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">began to leave</a> the area, a Hamas official <a href="https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/hamas-idf-call-for-rafah-evacuation-a-dangerous-escalation-that-will-have-consequences/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">claimed</a> that a Rafah offensive would have &#8220;dangerous escalation that will have consequences.&#8221;</p>
<p>The call for evacuations comes after Hamas <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/05/world/middleeast/hamas-rocket-kerem-shalom-israel.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">claimed</a> responsibility for a rocket attack near the Kerem Shalom border crossing on Sunday that the IDF said killed and critically wounded a handful of Israeli soldiers.</p>
<p>Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant <a href="https://twitter.com/manniefabian/status/1787365746542002285" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin overnight that there was &#8220;no choice left&#8221; but to start the Rafah operation despite <a href="https://www.barrons.com/news/blinken-tells-netanyahu-us-still-opposes-rafah-operation-us-official-fa22cefc" target="_blank" rel="noopener">opposition</a> by the Biden administration.</p>
<p>Peace negotiations had been taking place in Cairo, with the talks geared toward the release of hostages kidnapped in Israel in exchange for a ceasefire in Gaza, but CNN <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2024/05/05/middleeast/israeli-hamas-ceasefire-egypt-talks-intl/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> on Sunday they had shown little progress before the Hamas delegation left Egypt.</p>
<p>The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) <a href="https://twitter.com/UNRWA/status/1787375629119168663" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> in a post to X on Monday it would remain in Rafah for as long as possible to provide aid to people in the area.</p>

<p>UNRWA Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini <a href="https://twitter.com/UNLazzarini/status/1787425918769594828" target="_blank" rel="noopener">warned</a> that an Israeli offensive in Rafah would create an &#8220;additional layer&#8221; of tragedy for people in Gaza and called for an immediate ceasefire.</p>
<p>In a <a href="https://twitter.com/IDF/status/1787199048400666702" target="_blank" rel="noopener">post to X</a> on Sunday, the IDF said that a Hamas command-and-control center located in central Gaza at an &#8220;active&#8221; [UNRWA] location was &#8220;precisely struck&#8221; by Israeli Air Force fighter jets.</p>
<p>&#8220;The location served as a staging ground for multiple attacks on IDF troops and humanitarian aid distribution efforts as well as a weapons supply facility for Hamas terrorists,&#8221; the IDF said. &#8220;Hamas intentionally positioned the command and control position in this location to jeopardize the Gazan civilians taking refuge there.&#8221;</p>
