For more than two weeks, the Israeli occupation army has been launching a multi-front ground military operation, starting from Salah al-Din Street—formerly known as the Netzarim Axis—in the center of the Gaza Strip.

Soldiers carrying out the operation in Shejaia, a suburb east of Gaza City in the north, were letting civilians out via organised routes, as troops moved in to expand the area defined by Israel as a security zone in Gaza, a statement said.
