You know though. I can see this but there is also the bombing. I feel like both of these at the same time is a rock and hard place. If they just did the cutoff at least civilians might be able to refugee someplace.
Again, if there is a known safe haven, guerilla fighters will use it. This has come up with every major terrorist group. If they spent all their time in giant compounds out in the field, those fields would be craters.
That isn’t to say the IDF haven’t used this as excuses to attack aid organizations and journalists in the past. But there is also a lot of truth to the idea that you might have reporters on the tenth floor and a terrorist meeting on the fifth.
But also? Just the cutoff will kill those patients. You need power for medical equipment. You need running water (or power) to wash your hands. And you need medical supplies. I THINK aid organizations have found ways to get the last part in, but it is still bleak.
I am not sure whether more or fewer civilians will die in the evacuation over the war itself. I am hoping fewer but… But those patients aren’t going to be released and already are more or less dead unless the siege is lifted.
Not the person you’re responding to but the second one. They will push into the north, then likely keep going. The writing is on the wall, they will eradicate Hamas and while doing so all of Gaza because Hamas hides amongst civilians. They know Hamas may go south as well while telling everyone else to remain where they are. It may even be part of their plan. They will commit atrocity in the name of peace, and Hamas will revel in it and commit more of their own atrocities as well.

So…
Are you saying the IDF are idiots for thinking Hamas will stay in the north?
Or are you saying it’s obvious bullshit that IDF will leave the South alone if the north actually does evacuate?
