THE ISRAELI military ordered another evacuation in central Gaza today ahead of another planned ground invasion, continuing the genocide even as ceasefire talks with Hamas appeared to inch closer.

“This is an advance warning ahead of an offensive,” Israeli military spokesman Avichay Adraee posted on social media.

The order included four residential block areas in the urban refugee camp of Bureij, where Mr Adraee claimed that Palestinian militants fired rockets toward Israel. He asked the residents to move to a “humanitarian zone” in the Muwasi area.

Gaza’s Health Ministry reported today that at least another 38 people had been killed and 203 wounded by Israel’s onslaught in the last 24 hours.

Israel has issued frequent evacuation orders for different parts of  Gaza throughout its genocidal war — ostensibly launched against the Islamist militant group Hamas. More than 90 per cent of the population has been displaced, most of them multiple times.

Talks to broker the ceasefire and hostage release deal have restarted after a long pause. The deal on the table includes a six-week pause in fighting in which Hamas would release 30 hostages, including three of four dual Israeli-US citizens, in exchange for Israel releasing hundreds of Palestinian prisoners.

Israel’s destruction of Gaza has killed more than 45,000 Palestinians over the past 14 months, according to the Gaza Health Ministry.

Meanwhile, the Israel military began blowing up residential buildings in southern Lebanon today, as its forces continue to occupy border villages — according to Lebanon’s state-run National News Agency.

Explosions were heard in the city of Tyre, as well as the village of Harfa, the town of al-Jebbayn and the village of Chihine. The Israeli military also targeted buildings in the town of Naqoura for the third day, it reported.

And Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on a visit to Syria on Tuesday that Israeli forces will continue to occupy the buffer zone between Syria and the occupied Golan Heights — which Israel seized after the fall of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad — until another arrangement is in place “that ensures Israel’s security.”

An Israeli military official, who spoke to reporters on condition of anonymity, said there are no plans to evacuate the Syrians living in villages within the seized land.

The buffer zone between Syria and the occupied Golan Heights was created by the UN after the 1973 Arab–Israeli war. A UN force of about 1,100 troops had patrolled the area since then.

A UN spokesman said on Tuesday that the advance of Israeli troops, however long it lasts, violates the deal that set up the buffer zone.

That agreement “needs to be respected, and occupation is occupation, whether it lasts a week, a month or a year, it remains occupation,” spokesman Stephane Dujarric said.
