Amidst escalating tensions, Israel's military ordered over 1 million Palestinians in northern Gaza to evacuate southward, anticipating a ground invasion against Hamas. The UN warned of dire consequences for this mass exodus, affecting almost half of Gaza's population, urging Israel to reconsider. Families fled in packed vehicles, uncertain about safety in the besieged territory. Israeli airstrikes continued, with ground troops conducting raids. Hamas urged residents to stay, dismissing the evacuation as psychological warfare. International concerns grew as the conflict intensified, and the possibility of a ground offensive loomed, potentially resulting in higher casualties.
