Israel Gaza War Live Updates: Israeli Defence Forces have issued a fresh warning to Palestinians in Gaza, telling the residents to leave their homes and not return till further notice as Israel mounts its biggest counteroffensive on Gazan soil in decades. Thousands of pamphlets warning Palestinians were dropped on Gaza by the military cautioning them against staying back when the Israeli retaliation begins. “Dear residents of Gaza The terrorist organisations started a war against the State of Israel, the city of Gaza became a battlefield. You must evacuate your home immediately and leave the southern Gaza Wadi. For your safety and security: You must not return to your home until further notice from the Israel Defense Forces. Recognized public shelters (shelters) in Gaza City must be evacuated,” the warning said.
“Do not approach the security fence - for your safety and for the safety of your families. Anyone who approaches exposes himself to death. You must evacuate your home and go south from the Gaza Strip,” it said.

Hamas is a terrorist group and its only agenda is to destroy Israel and murder Jews, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said. The group is not a representative of the Palestinian people or their legitimate aspirations for the future, he added.
A top grouping of Islamic nations has called an "urgent extraordinary meeting" in Saudi Arabia to discuss the Israel-Gaza war.
The Hamas group created detailed plans to target elementary schools and a youth centre in the Israeli kibbutz of Kfar Sa'ad to "kill as many people as possible", hold hostages and quickly take them into the Gaza Strip, documents have revealed, NBC News reported.
The attack plans, termed "top secret" in Arabic, seem to be orders for two trained Hamas units to surround and infiltrate villages and target places where civilians gather. Israeli authorities are yet to determine the death count in Kfar Sa'ad, according to NBC News.
Saudi Arabia has suspended talks on potentially normalising ties with Israel, a source told AFP on Saturday, amid the war raging between Israel and the Palestinian militant group Hamas.
Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Bogdanov may meet Hamas officials in Qatar next week and discuss a possible release of hostages seized by the group in its attack on Israel a week ago.
"Do not approach the security fence - for your safety and for the safety of your families. Anyone who approaches exposes himself to death. You must evacuate your home and go south from the Gaza Strip," Israel Military said.
A senior military commander of Hamas who headed the Islamist group's aerial operations in Gaza City has been killed in Israeli air strikes, the military said Saturday.
