Amid Bombardments Israel Orders a Quarter of a Million Palestinians in Rafah to Evacuate
Rafah from the air
The Israeli military heavily bombed Rafah early on the morning
of May 6, before
ordering up to 250,000 Palestinians to leave parts of the border town
ahead of a threatened
ground assault. At least 22 civilians, including eight children, were
killed in air strikes that hit
11 homes across Rafah, the Palestinian news agency Wafa reported.
The Israeli
military dropped flyers ordering displaced people and residents to
leave the eastern areas of
the city near the fence that separates the Gaza Strip and Israel. It
said the military was "about
to operate with force against the terror organizations in the area."
