Gaza’s civil defense agency said that Israeli air strikes in the north of the territory killed at least 15 people early on Thursday, April 3, as the military issued an evacuation order for residents of the area.

Agency Spokesperson Mahmud Bassal said that the strikes targeted several homes in Gaza City’s Shujaiya neighborhood. “There are still a number of people trapped under the rubble,” he said.

The Israeli military issued a new evacuation order for residents of Shujaiya and some other districts in Gaza’s north.

“The IDF (Israeli Defense Forces) is operating with great force in your areas to destroy the terrorist infrastructure,” military spokesman Avichay Adraee said in a post on X.

“You must evacuate these areas immediately and move to the known shelters in western Gaza City.”
