The Israel Defense Forces issued an "urgent warning" to residents of Gaza on Saturday.
In a video posted on X, the IDF said civilians should evacuate northern Gaza and Gaza City.
But that warning is not accessible in Gaza, where there is a near-total communications blackout.

The Israel Defense Forces issued an "urgent plea" to Palestinians in the Gaza Strip on Saturday, urging them in a video — not accessible in the territory — to head south immediately ahead of a likely ground offensive.
