Israel has claimed that Hamas is blocking Palestinians from leaving Gaza as it prepares for an invasion of the densely populated area.
Israel's invasion of Gaza is expected imminently. Its government told Palestinians to leave northern Gaza before the invasion, giving them until 1pm UK time on Saturday to leave via two routes. The deadline has now expired, and it is unclear how many Palestinians have managed to get to safety. Hamas has also accused Israel of bombing a convoy of civilians fleeing, killing as many as 70.
Mr Adraee said in a Twitter post: "An important statement to the residents of Gaza City. "In recent days, we have appealed to you to leave Gaza City to the south of Wadi Gaza in order to preserve your safety. "I would like to inform you that the IDF will allow movement on the indicated streets without any harm between the hours of 10:00-16:00. "For your safety, take advantage of the short time to move south - from Beit Hanoun to Khan Yunis.
