The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) issued an immediate evacuation order this morning, September 26th, for residents near a building in the Rimal area of Gaza City, citing its alleged use by Hamas. The alert, disseminated via X by Avichai Adraei, instructed civilians to evacuate south towards a designated humanitarian area. This action follows an earlier IDF announcement regarding an imminent strike on Hamas infrastructure in the Gaza Port area and Al-Remal neighborhood, which also included specific block and street references for evacuation. Additional reports indicate the IDF is preparing to broadcast Prime Minister Netanyahu's speech in Gaza. Separately, a new militia described as "the popular forces of the Lahadia" has reportedly been established in Lahav, in the northern Gaza Strip, with Ashraf Almani named as its leader. Furthermore, booby-trapped robots have been directed towards Gaza City's Al-Sabr neighborhood. These developments occur amidst ongoing tensions, with Israeli UN Ambassador Danny Danon having accused Palestinian representatives yesterday of planning a "show" at the United Nations, which included staged walkouts during the Israeli Prime Minister's speech. Danon alleged that Palestinian representatives had requested countries to substitute their delegates to simulate widespread walkouts.
