Israel dropped evacuation leaflets on Gaza City residents Tuesday, warning of an imminent massive assault to eliminate Hamas's remaining strongholds. Prime Minister Netanyahu threatened a "mighty hurricane" operation if hostages aren't freed, causing panic among Palestinians already displaced multiple times. Many residents say there's nowhere safe to flee, with some choosing to stay despite Israeli warnings. Gaza's main hospitals refuse evacuation, vowing not to abandon patients. The planned assault could complicate ceasefire negotiations and has drawn criticism from Israel's own military leadership and hostage families. Hamas claimed responsibility for Monday's Jerusalem shooting that killed six. Over 64,000 Palestinians have died since October 2023, according to local authorities, amid ongoing genocide accusations against Israel.
