As per the military, individuals have moved to different locations within the enclave. Before the operation preparations began, around 1 million Palestinians resided in the city.

The IDF reported that around 50 airstrikes targeted locations in Gaza last night, hitting a total of 140.

In the past, Israeli officials consistently urged residents of Gaza to relocate to specified humanitarian areas. In the past few days, the rate of evacuation has soared to tens of thousands daily.

On the evening of September 16, the IDF initiated a ground assault on Gaza. Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz announced that the military will act in Gaza until the total defeat of the Palestinian Hamas group.

In August 2025, Israel declared an operation named "Operation Gideon's Chariots II." It involves taking control of Gaza City.
