Some Palestinians heed Israel’s orders and head south on foot

Some Palestinians appear to have heeded Israeli orders to head to the southern part of the Gaza Strip during a four-hour window on Sunday (November 5) as intense bombardment rages on in the northern part of the territory.

Crowds of people, including women and children, were seen walking down Gaza's main north-south highway with only what they could carry in their arms. Others were seen leading donkey carts on the road.

Earlier, Israeli planes once again dropped leaflets urging people to head south as its forces advance in the outskirts of Gaza City.
