Palestinian reports stated that the IDF dropped leaflets across the Gaza Strip in an effort to influence civilians in the enclave to “join the winning family” and turn against Hamas.
The military reportedly dropped several different types of leaflets on the Gaza Strip; some called on Gazans to rise up against Hamas, while others had messages of Israeli victory or calls for surrender.
One flyer featured a picture of Izz al-Din Haddad, Hamas’s Gaza City brigade commander, with the caption “Sinwar won’t enter hell without you. The angels and your friends who got there before you are waiting. Don’t worry—we’ll send you a fast-track pass to hell.”
Other flyers pushed for residents to pay attention to the terrorists operating in their area.
“Residents of Deir el-Balah, the names of some of the terrorists in your area have already been published. Pay attention to who operates among you. These terrorists have destroyed your lives and brought ruin upon you! Act to drive them out – for a better future,” the flyer said, according to Palestinian reports.
IDF orders citizens to evacuate from southern Gaza
This comes after the IDF’s Arabic spokesperson, Col. Avichay Adraee, issued an evacuation warning for the southern half of the Gaza Strip on Monday, requesting all residents to move west “immediately” to al-Mawasi.
This is because the IDF is launching an “unprecedented attack to destroy the capabilities of terror organizations,” Adraee added.
Khan Yunis Governorate is now considered a “dangerous combat zone,” he commented.
