IDF intercepts 2 rockets launched from Gaza to Jerusalem, issues urgent evacuation order for Beit Hanoun
World | The army said that both rockets were launched from the northern Gaza Strip in the Jerusalem area. It claimed to intercept the rockets.
The Israel Defence Force (IDF) issued an urgent evacuation warning for northern Gaza residents after the army claimed that long-range rockets were fired from Gaza on Saturday (Dec 28). Israeli army's Arabic spokesperson Col Avichay Adraee published a map showing the areas that were ordered to be evacuated.
Adree said in a post on X showing the map, “Urgent warning to all those who have not yet evacuated the area marked on the map, specifically the Beit Hanoun area. This area has been warned many times in the past. You must evacuate the area immediately and move south towards Salah a-Din road. Moving via another road exposes you to danger."

Earlier in the day, the Israeli army rejected the claims that its troops set a Gaza hospital on fire while operating near it on Friday (Dec 27). The accusation came from Gaza's health ministry, which is run by the Palestinian militant group Hamas.
The IDF spokesperson Lt Col Nadav Shoshani said in a statement, "While IDF troops were not in the hospital, a small fire broke out in an empty building inside the hospital that is under control." He further added that an investigation confirmed "no connection" between the military and the fire.
