On the 39th day of the war, after over a million and a half residents of the Gaza Strip had already descended to the south of the Gaza Strip, the IDF spokesman issued a message in Arabic to the western neighborhoods of Gaza City: "Do not submit to the dictates of Hamas, evacuate for your safety by 4:00 PM and descend to the south of the Strip."
The message reads: "An important message to the residents of the Tel al-Hawa, al-Sabra, and al-Zitoun neighborhoods in the western city of Gaza: The IDF informs you of the need to urgently evacuate your residential areas to maintain your safety, through the Salah ad-Din road that has been opened to traffic, on foot and in cars, until four o'clock, to reach the south of the Gaza Strip and the humanitarian zone. Do not submit to the dictates of Hamas. Staying in Gaza City and these neighborhoods exposes you to danger"
