- TEL AVIV, OCTOBER 13 - ''We understand that the evacuation of the population will take time. We are now verifying the figures," said Israeli military spokesman Daniel Hagari. He commented on the order given "with leaflets, radio and telephone messages, and on the web" to the people of Gaza to move immediately south of Wadi Gaza for security reasons. In his opinion, it could take "more than 24 hours".
Hagari noted that similarly in recent days a very large number of Israelis have also been forced to abandon their homes in the south and north of Israel to reach safer locations.
