Israel Orders First Gaza Evacuations Since October Ceasefire, Raising Tensions

• Israeli forces ordered dozens of Palestinian families in southern Gaza to evacuate their homes, the first such order since the October ceasefire.
• Residents of Bani Suhaila, east of Khan Younis, received leaflets warning them to leave immediately as the area is under IDF control.
• This marks the first forced evacuation since the truce, which had seen major fighting halt and Hamas release hostages.
• The ceasefire remains strained, with both Israel and Hamas accusing each other of violations.
• Evacuation orders affect at least 70 families, pushing the 'yellow line' deeper into Palestinian territory, according to a resident.
