Israel Threatens All Staying in Gaza City, Kills at Least 53 in Enclave

02/10/2025

At least 53 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks since dawn across Gaza as Israel threatened tens of thousands remaining in Gaza City with a forced order to leave, saying it was their “last opportunity” to flee or face the “full force” of Israel’s assault. 

Defense Minister Israel Katz wrote on X on Wednesday that anyone who stayed would be considered “terrorists and terror supporters”. 

Reporting from the al-Rashid Street on Thursday, Al Jazeera’s Hani Mahmoud said the Israeli military was ordering people to leave, then chasing them on the coastal route south with military choppers, drones, and tanks, creating “mayhem and panic”.  

At least 10 people were killed in Gaza City, and among those Palestinians killed on Thursday were 13 aid seekers in the southern Gaza Strip.
