GAZA CITY, Palestinian Territories, Sept 7, 2025 (BSS/AFP) - The Israeli 
army issued a fresh evacuation order for a residential tower in Gaza City on 
Sunday ahead of a planned bombing of the high-rise building, a day after it 
issued a similar warning.

"The (army) will strike the building soon due to the presence of Hamas 
terrorist infrastructure inside or nearby," army spokesman Avichay Adraee 
said in a statement.

On Saturday, the military had issued a similar warning for the same building, 
the Al-Roya Tower, after the air force had demolished two other residential 
high-rises this week.

The Al-Roya Tower was not struck on Saturday.

"For your safety, you must evacuate the building immediately and move south 
toward the humanitarian zone in Al-Mawasi" area of Khan Yunis in southern 
Gaza, the army spokesman added.

The warning came as the Israeli army pushed inside Gaza City in a bid to step 
up pressure on the Palestinian militant group Hamas.

"We are deepening the manoeuvre on the outskirts of Gaza City and within Gaza 
City itself," Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyuahu told ministers at 
the start of a cabinet meeting on Sunday.

Israel has not publicly announced the start of a major offensive to seize 
Gaza City, which Netanyahu's cabinet approved last month, but troops have 
intensified bombings and operations in the area for weeks.

The Israeli military has claimed that the two high-rises flattened in recent 
strikes were used by Hamas to "monitor" Israeli troops -- an accusation 
denied by the Palestinian group.
