Palestinians say Israeli planes have dropped warning tracts for evacuation

“Whoever is near Hamas terrorists will put his life at risk”, the tract said. “Respecting IDF guidelines will prevent you from exposing yourself to danger”, reports the Associated Press.

The area had already been hit hard when the tracts were dropped. The shelters at the Gaza Strip are not safe from air strikes. The UN Agency for Palestinian Refugees has seen 10 of its shelters hit since the start of the operation.

Palestinians living in the hit belt have said the army often did not announce before hitting houses, or informing them, but not long enough to evacuate before hitting their homes.

Israeli defence officials have said they try to give warning before the attacks.
