IDF Updates – May 11th


IDF: Following attempts by Hamas to reassemble its terrorist infrastructure and operatives in the area, this morning (Saturday), the IDF called on the civilian population of Jabaliya and the surrounding areas to temporarily evacuate to shelters in western Gaza City. This is in order to reduce harm to the civilian population and to move civilians away from the combat zone, in accordance with international law.

In continuation of the IDF’s precise operations in specific areas of eastern Rafah, and following terrorist activities and fire carried out by Hamas from the area, following the directive of the government, the IDF called on the population from additional areas in eastern Rafah to temporarily evacuate to the expanded Humanitarian Area in Al-Mawasi.
So far, approximately 300,000 Gazans have moved towards the Humanitarian Area in Al-Mawasi.

The calls for the temporary evacuation are being communicated to residents through flyers, SMS messages, phone calls and media broadcasts in Arabic.

The IDF continues to act against the Hamas terrorist organization, which uses the residents of Gaza as human shields for its terrorist activities and infrastructure.

Today (Saturday), the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT) announced the establishment of a new field hospital run by the International Medical Corps in the Gaza Strip in coordination with the IDF and COGAT. The field hospital was established in the area of Deir al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip and began operating in recent days. This coordination is a further part of the IDF and COGAT’s humanitarian efforts to ensure aid, including medical aid, reaches the Gazan civilian population.
 
The establishment of the hospital was coordinated and enabled through the entry of medical workers and medical equipment, including medicines, beds, food, water, tents, first aid equipment, ventilators, and materials for the construction of the field hospital, via the Kerem Shalom Crossing following security checks. The field hospital will be operated by 150 international medical aid workers, and its dozens of beds can be used for emergency and routine medical treatment.
 
The hospital joins seven other field hospitals that have been established in the Gaza Strip since the start of the war. It is located in the area of Deir al-Balah, which serves to provide humanitarian aid to the Gazan residents temporarily evacuated from the eastern Rafah area. As part of the humanitarian measures to facilitate the temporary evacuation of civilians from the eastern Rafah area, some of the existing field hospitals were transferred to the expanded Humanitarian Area in Al-Mawasi in coordination with the international community, where there is an increased supply of tents, food, water, and medicine.
 
The IDF and COGAT will continue to operate in accordance with international law to provide humanitarian aid to the Gazan civilian population.
