Central Gaza, seen from Israel – 20 July 2025
1. Various of explosions in the night sky in the direction of the Deir al-Balah area
STORYLINE:
Explosions were seen in the night sky above Deir al-Balah, in Central Gaza, Sunday night.
It’s the area that the Israeli army had earlier ordered to be evacuated, forcing hundreds of Palestinians to flee once again.
It’s one of the few areas not been invaded with Israeli ground troops.
The evacuation cuts access between the city of Deir al-Balah and the southern cities of Rafah and Khan Younis in the narrow enclave.
The announcement comes as Israel and Hamas have been holding ceasefire talks in Qatar, but international mediators say there have been no breakthroughs.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has repeatedly stressed that expanding Israeli military operations in Gaza will pressure Hamas to negotiate, though negotiations have been stalled for months.
The area of Gaza under the evacuation order is also where many international organizations attempting to distribute aid are located.
The organizations did not immediately comment on the evacuation warnings.
Military spokesman Avichay Adraee warned that the military will attack “with intensity” against militants.
He called for residents, including those sheltering in tents, to head to the Muwasi area, a desolate tent camp on Gaza’s southern shore that the Israeli military has designated a humanitarian zone.
