On the ninth day of the Israel-Hamas conflict, residents in the northern Gaza Strip are evacuating their homes in anticipation of a possible ground offensive by the Israeli army. Many are carrying their belongings in vehicles, trucks, or on foot as they head towards the southern parts of Gaza in search of safety.
The surprise attack by Hamas on October 7 has intensified the already fierce fighting between Israel and the ruling faction of Gaza. As the conflict continues to escalate, Israel's military chief has declared a determination to end Hamas' rule over the region. The situation remains fluid, with ongoing developments as both sides engage in this prolonged conflict.
