Israel military begins evacuating Palestinian civilians from Rafah, radio says

Israeli armed forces have reportedly begun evacuating Palestinian civilians from Rafah in southern Gaza, ahead of a possible assault. The evacuation, focused on peripheral districts, aims to move people to tent cities in Khan Younis and Al Muwassi. This action comes as part of Israel's offensive against Hamas, with the military calling on residents in eastern Rafah to move to a "humanitarian area." The operation is raising concerns about potential high casualties, given the large number of displaced Palestinians in the area.
