In
a statement, the IDF said that the decision was approved by the Minister of
Defence Yoav Gallant and the residents would be shifted to the state-funded
guest house.
"The
National Emergency Management Authority (NEMA) of the Ministry of Defense and
the IDF are announcing the implementation of a plan to evacuate residents of
northern Israel who live in the area up to 2 kilometers from the Lebanese
border to state-funded guesthouses. The implementation of the plan was approved
by Minister of Defense, Yoav Gallant. A short while ago, the Northern Command
updated the heads of the local authorities on to the decision. The plan will be
implemented by the heads of the local municipalities, the Ministry of Interior
and the National Emergency Management Authority (NEMA) of the Ministry of
Defense," said the IDF.
The IDF further said that there are 28
communities in the area that will be shifted to the guest houses.
Meanwhile, Israeli
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has chaired an emergency meeting ahead of the
Israeli Defence Forces's ground attack on Gaza. Over 10,000 IDF soldiers and
tanks have lined up at the Gaza border as they wait for the Gazans to evacuate
southwards to Wadi Gaza.
On
the other hand, United States President Joe Biden has said that while Israel
should finish Hamas, it should not recapture Gaza as it would be a mistake.
Biden also said that there is a fundamental difference between Israelis killed
in the Hamas attack and Palestinian civilians and Hamas terrorists killed in
Tel Aviv's counter-attack. The US president said that Hamas has engaged in
barbarism that is as consequential as the holocaust.
