"Move south. For your own safety. It is not a mere precaution. It is an urgent plea for the safety of civilians in Gaza," warned the main spokesman for the Israeli Army, Vice Admiral Daniel Hagari, in a video published on the English account of the Israeli forces on platform X (formerly Twitter). In the publication, Hagari referred to an "imminent operation by the Israeli Army to neutralize the Hamas threat with precision and intensity," according to the Europa Press news agency.

Israel toughens its ground operation in Gaza by sending tanks and infantry backed by attacks from the air and sea that "made the ground shake" in the Palestinian enclave, according to Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, who this Saturday assured that the war entered a new stage. "We are moving on to the next stage of the war," Gallant said, adding: “Last night, the ground shook in Gaza. We attack above and below ground (...) The instructions to the forces are clear. The campaign will continue until further notice.” The minister's comments reflect the gradual advance of Israel's offensive, which anticipates a large-scale ground attack, but which has been delayed due to "tactical" issues. The United Nations and humanitarian organizations denounced that the Israeli attacks and the ultimatums they send to force Gazans to undertake dubious transfers to safe areas constitute "war crimes."
