Tension and fear spread across Gaza on Tuesday evening after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered the military to launch immediate strikes on the enclave.
Witnesses in several areas of Gaza City and Khan Younis said people hurried home as news of the order circulated.
“The streets emptied as soon as they heard the Israeli threats,” Alaa Saleh, a teacher who is now working a taxi driver, told the BBC. “Everyone wanted to reach his tent or house before the planes arrived.”
Most shops closed their doors before nightfall, and the normally crowded markets fell silent.
Local residents said armed Hamas fighters who had been manning checkpoints on several main roads were seen withdrawing shortly before sunset.
The renewed tension comes amid growing uncertainty surrounding the fragile truce and ongoing efforts to recover the bodies of Israeli captives believed to remain under the rubble or in tunnels.
