Gaza Strip - October 22, 2024

Military pressure from Brigade 162 against militants and terrorism is intensifying, while the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) are facilitating safe evacuations for civilians through organized routes for their security.

The breaking of Hamas's blockade on Jabalia has resulted in thousands of civilians beginning to evacuate the area since early morning, despite Hamas's efforts to prevent their departure.

Additionally, over 150 militants have been apprehended by security forces, with some surrendering to authorities. Combat teams from the Givati, 401, and 460 brigades are actively engaged in operations in the region.

In parallel, the IDF, in cooperation with the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT), is maintaining continuous communication with the international community and health systems to ensure the ongoing operation of emergency services in hospitals. This includes the transfer of medical supplies and fuel, coordinated with the Gaza District Coordination Office, while also facilitating the evacuation of teams, patients, and escorts based on the operational situation.
