Israel's latest offensive has raised concerns that the country is implementing a "surrender or starve" plan to push Hamas out of northern Gaza. Many residents there are being forcibly displaced.
The Israeli military's latest invasion of Jabaliya in northern Gaza could not be more catastrophic for residents, who have already endured the bombardments and hardship of the Israel-Hamas war, now in its second year.
"It's dangerous here. Nobody can move. It's risky and unsafe. They asked us to leave, but there was no time. All of a sudden, the area was surrounded and under fire," said Mohammed, who didn't want to give his last name, by phone.
Almost two weeks ago, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) launched a new ground offensive in the Jabaliya refugee camp in northern Gaza and ordered people to leave the area — once again. The IDF said intelligence showed efforts by Hamas, the militant group that runs the enclave, to reestablish itself and regroup in the area.
Palestinians and the United Nations fear that the latest invasion is part of a wider implementation of a "surrender or starve" strategy by Israel to forcibly displace northern residents and seal off northern Gaza, plans Israel denies.
"The Israeli military appears to be cutting off North Gaza completely from the rest of the Gaza Strip," the UN Human Rights Office said in a statement.

Probably one of the most fearsome attacks on a country ...i dont want to say in history because my history sucks.
But it would be brutal, you’re right.
300,000 tons of food delivered to Gaza this year says no. But since Hamas has FEMA’d a lot of it perhaps it’s Hamas that is telling the people to obey or starve.
Shed a tear for them if you must, but what is really going on is this: Every truck that brings supplies in is commandeered by Hamas at gunpoint, and rerouted to their distribution points. The local Gazans are forced to pay for these goods, usually at 10 times their worth. Hamas takes the proceeds and distributes the monies to their leaders, and then their soldiers, and any Gazans that resist are killed. Perhaps the Israelis should calculate the number of calories the Hostages are receiving and distribute on that basis. That would be fair. LET MY PEOPLE GO! Said the Prophet.
Gaslighter. Change your name to Hamasfan and be done with it.
I suspect The Mental Midget Biden and his sidekick kommie-la blackmailed Israel into NOT hitting Iran's oil fields or NUKE facilities.
If the Biden admin is to be believed, Israel is conducting a siege. (And I have no problem with it). Here’s some historical background for you:
The 7 Most Incredible Sieges In Military History: https://www.military.com/history/7-most-incredible-sieges-military-history.html?amp
I think they would’ve starved by now since it’s been a year so no.
Hard to believe we would do anything while Venezuelan gangs are terrorizing properties in Colorado. We will see on November 6th I guess.
I think it’s Hamas threatening to shoot anyone who tries to evacuate rather than Israel not allowing enough time. Just as it’s Hamas confiscating food relief and not Israel who’s obstructing food delivery
There “truly” is no such thing as a “fair” fight!
I give you: (1) the fire-bombing of Tokyo,
(2) the fire-bombing of Dresden,
(3) the atomic-bombing of Hiroshima
and, (4) the atomic-bombing of Nagasaki to name a “few!”
The Pali’s wrote a check that their asses can’t cash!
What convention determined that Israel is responsible for the care, feeding, infrastructure and welfare of a bloodthirsty people determined to butcher Jews?
You got it. “Fair fight” …. “proportional response.” Only Israel is held to these ridiculous standards in war.
Law of War wouldn’t include Hamas or Hezbollah. They aren’t states just terrorists supported by Iran. They also fail on other requirements.
Hamas was elected by the “Palestinians”. They elected Hamas knowing that the Hamas charter and the Hamas leadership always always always openly declare a commitment to destroy Israel.
I agree, but Gaza isn’t a ‘state’ entity either, they are getting what most of them asked for.
When the people of Gaza decide to have leaders to speak up and surrender, then Israel can begin thinking that they’ve had enough.
Agree
>> The laws of war if you will..
Do Israel’s enemies obey your “laws of war”...???
>> What convention determined that Israel is responsible for the care, feeding, infrastructure and welfare of a bloodthirsty people determined to butcher Jews?
So, RandFan: why DON’T you ANSWER UP to Jacquerie’s quite legitimate question? Who DID determine that Israel must cater to these philistines?
