    Hamas however has strongly denied the presence of one of its leaders in the refugee camp. Hazem Qassem, a spokesman for the militant group, accused Israel of attempting to justify what he described as a “heinous crime against safe civilians, children, and women in Jabalya camp.”

    Ah, yes, the terrorists wouldn’t want any civilians, children, or women getting hurt.

    Also big fail from CNN, reporting this as a current refugee camp, when it’s a city named as a refugee camp, in Northern Gaza, that was ordered to evacuate.

      Ahh yes. Told to evacuate. But not allowed to go through IDF lines.

      More like scaring than warning.

      Such comic book understanding of hammas, essentially the closest thing Palestinians have to a government, and the sole force resisting genocide (albeit as rightwing theocrats).

      Yet the humane alternatives will never bee humored by israel. Grant citizenship to all Palestinians, roll back illegal settlments designed to fragment the people and enstate a 2 state solution, really anything other than leveling civilian areas because there mightaybe could be a guy with a rocket. Apply that logic to any city and we would have flattened Manhattan by the 90s.

      The average Palestinian is under 20 years old. This is one of the most powerful and right wing armies in the world making excises for killing children.

        Right, terrorists invade Israel and brutally murder 1500, and Israel’s response should be to give all Palestinians citizenship and land. I guess terrorism works?
