Report: Israeli settlers almost evacuate entire Asqalan amid continued resistance retaliation

Illegal Israeli settlers have reportedly almost evacuated the entire coastal city of Asqalan in the west of the occupied territories amid the Palestinian resistance’s continued retaliatory rocket strikes.

Reporting on Thursday, a correspondent with Iran’s al-Alam Arabic-language television network said more than 80 percent of the city’s settlers had left.

“The city is almost empty and military forces have been deployed to its entrances,” he said.

The Cradle, an online news magazine, meanwhile, alleged in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, that Israel had decided to officially evacuate the city, which has a population of around 137,000 illegal settlers.
