On May 11, 2024, the Israeli military issued new evacuation orders in Rafah, a southern city in Gaza, as part of its plans to expand military operations. This move comes in response to Hamas regrouping in northern Gaza. The orders affect tens of thousands of residents in Rafah, where over one million Palestinians are currently sheltering. The expansion of operations is reportedly in defiance of growing international pressure.
