The Israeli military will provide Gaza residents with tents and other equipment starting from Sunday ahead of relocating them from combat zones to "safe" ones in the south of the enclave, military spokesperson Avichay Adraee said on Saturday.

A group representing the anxious families of Israeli hostages urged Israelis to take to the streets Sunday for a “nationwide day of stoppage” to express growing frustration over 22 months of war.

Israel announced Saturday that it is preparing to move Palestinians from combat zones to southern Gaza as plans move ahead for a military offensive in some of the territory's most populated areas.
