Thousands of Palestinians heeded warnings to flee their homes in the Gaza Strip as Israel ratcheted up its attacks on Hamas and the death toll from a week of conflict climbed past 160.
The Israeli military dropped leaflets and left voice and text messages urging residents in the northern Gaza town of Beit Lahiya to leave because it intends to attack “terrorists and terror infrastructure,” according to the army. About 4,000 Gazans sought refuge afterward in shelters run by the UN Relief and Works Agency, spokesman Chris Gunness said today on Twitter.
