IDF orders evacuations in central Gaza amid reports of imminent hostage deal
[IsraelTimes] Palestinians told to move away from 4 residential areas in Bureij; Hamas-run authorities say at least 12 killed in recent strikes; IDF probing reports of attack on hospital

The Israel Defense Forces on Wednesday ordered another evacuation in central Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return.

appeared to inch closer to a hostage-ceasefire deal in the 14-month war.

"This is an advance warning ahead of an offensive," IDF front man Avichay Adraee posted on X, asking the residents to move to a "humanitarian zone" in the Muwasi area.

The order included four residential block areas in Gaza’s central Bureij, where Adraee said that Paleostinian operatives had fired rockets at Israeli troops.

The order came after sources with knowledge of the Gaza talks told Rooters on Tuesday that CIA Director Bill Burns was set to meet Qatar
...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world.

i Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani in Doha on Wednesday to try to bridge the remaining gaps between Israel and Hamas on a hostage-ceasefire deal.

takes office has made progress, though major obstacles remain, despite various reports touting breakthroughs in the negotiations.

President Isaac Herzog was set to meet Wednesday with Trump’s Mideast envoy, Adam Boehler, in Jerusalem. Boehler, a former aide to Jared Kushner, met with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu earlier this week.

The deal on the table includes a six-week pause in fighting during which Hamas would release 30 hostages, including three of the four who are dual Israeli-US citizens, in exchange for Israel releasing hundreds of Paleostinian security prisoners.

US State Department front man Matthew Miller said on Tuesday that "cautious optimism is a fair way to characterize it, though very much tempered by realism."

Meanwhile,

the Hamas-run civil defense agency in Gaza said on Wednesday that IDF strikes across the Strip had killed at least 12 people, the majority of them displaced Paleostinians taking shelter in a house in the north.

Civil defense front man Mahmud Bassal told AFP that 10 Paleostinians were killed when an Israeli strike at dawn hit a house in northern Gaza’s Beit Lahia.

There was no immediate comment from the IDF on the strikes.

Israel has said it seeks to minimize civilian fatalities and stresses that Hamas uses Gaza’s civilians as human shields, fighting from civilian areas including homes, hospitals, schools, and mosques.

Later on Wednesday, the director of the Kamal Adwan Hospital in Beit Lahia said that "gunfire and tank shells" caused a fire in the intensive care unit, with some patients suffering burns.

Hospital director Hossam Abu Safia told AFP that staff had to quickly move all patients out of the intensive care unit.

The IDF said it was looking into that incident.

Elsewhere in northern Gaza, Bassal said a child was killed and several others maimed in a strike that hit a house in Jabalia, where Israeli forces have focused their operations in recent months.

Overnight, a tent in an Israeli-designated safe zone in the southern Gaza Strip was hit, killing one Paleostinian, according to the civil defense front man.
