(Local time in Israel)
08:04 - So far, more than 400,000 residents of the Gaza Strip have evacuated to about 100 shelters and relatives.
08:03 - IDF warplanes attacked 750 military targets throughout the night across the Strip, including underground tunnels, military compounds and outposts, high-ranking houses that served as military headquarters, IDF warehouses, communications rooms and the organization's operatives. At the same time, three mortar operatives of an organization were thwarted in Gaza City in the northern Gaza Strip.
07:49 - IDF spokesman, Brigadier General Daniel Hagari: "Our priority is the elimination of senior officials and terrorists who participated in the murderous massacre. We cannot live with Hamas-ISIS rule near our borders. We are going to collapse the Hamas infrastructure in Gaza." He further added: "We have informed 258 families that their loved ones in the IDF have fallen since Saturday. The status of the abductees is 97 families."
07:44 - The Hamas Interior Ministry told the residents of the Gaza Strip this morning - in response to the IDF's call to evacuate their homes: Israel is trying to spread false propaganda to sow confusion among the residents of Gaza. Do not cooperate with these attempts which constitute psychological warfare.
07:11 - IDF spokesperson to residents of Gaza City: "All residents are called to evacuate their homes, move south for their protection and settle in the area south of the Gaza River. This evacuation is for your personal safety. It will be possible to return to Gaza City only after a notification confirming this. Do not approach the fence area with the State of Israel. Hamas terrorists are hiding in Gaza City in tunnels under houses in Gaza City, and inside many buildings are innocent civilians."
06:25 - Israel's Ambassador to the UN Gilad Erdan: "The UN's response to Israel's early warning to the residents of Gaza is a disgrace! For many years the UN has been 'turning a blind eye' to the arming of Hamas and its use of the civilian population and civilian infrastructure in the Gaza Strip as a hiding place for weapons and his murder. And now, instead of standing by Israel, whose citizens were slaughtered by Hamas terrorists and who tries to minimize harm to those not involved, he preaches specifically to Israel. It is better for the UN to focus now on returning the abductees, condemning Hamas and supporting Israel's right to defend itself."
05:42 - The IDF informed the UN: 1.1 million Palestinians living in the north of the Gaza Strip are required to evacuate to the south within 24 hours. In response, the United Nations called for the cancellation of the demand in order to "prevent a disaster and devastating humanitarian consequences." According to the details that the IDF provided to the representatives of the United Nations, the residents of Gaza City are required to move to the south - in order to prevent possible harm to them. Those who do not obey the instructions - "put the himself and his family in danger."
05:40 - The pictures of the Israeli abductees, including toddlers and the elderly, were projected onto the UN headquarters - demanding their release. The headquarters of the families of the abductees in the US made three demands: their immediate release, the opening of a humanitarian corridor for the supply of medicine and necessary equipment, and a call for the intervention of world leaders in general and the Arab world in particular. "The world needs to know. The world needs to wake up. We will not rest until our sisters and brothers who were captured by murderous violence return home to their families," it said.
Bump
So, in less than 2 1/2 hours 40% of the “northern” population have completed their trip to south of the Wadi Gaza. A lot of people here were claiming it would be mission impossible and a humanitarian catastrophe. It was neither and there’s over 21 hours remaining for the rest to complete the move.
Folks, Gaza’s not that big.
Israel is WARNING the 2023 equivalent of the Nazis to FLEE - and the Jew-hating world is on the side of the Nazis. Amazing.
Just on a gaza youtube livecam with four cams. Don’t know the locations within gaza, not listed.
Very sporadic shells landing miles away from one cam, very peaceful morning in the others. Sounds of roosters, so early morning, after sunrise. Very few people about.
The Hamas Interior Ministry told the residents of the Gaza Strip this morning - in response to the IDF's call to evacuate their homes:
"Israel is trying to spread false propaganda to sow confusion among the residents of Gaza. Do not cooperate with these attempts which constitute psychological warfare."
The people of Gaza know the Israeli and were wise to get as far from the fighting as possible. This will be a horror beyond anything in modern history. More like the Mongol invasions. My fear is that the thing is planned—expected. When the Israelis are in Gaza a new force hits from the north via Syria. Or maybe an uprising in The West Bank or a move with terrorism on Jerusalem. The day of Jihad worries me—mass—world wide attacks on the west and USA. A hand full of fanatics could do great damage. This could be really bad—I hope to God I am wrong and I’m just a Nervous Nellie.
He is crazy IMO. Both himself and the wife/gf have been praying at times. Shells have gone off close enough to topple over the cams.
The rooster is lol esp with the one or two others nearby.
At night, pitch black, explosions, non stop drones or planes-looks like hell on earth.
I’ve been watching a few days and have seen zero signs of life but random birds and this couple.
I’ve been watching the same one. That’s the one with “Steve” the rooster. It’s YouTube.com/audionix
All that you say could happen, but just because it could doesn’t mean Israel should not complete military operations in Gaza. It seems that there is a strong presence of IDF along the Lebanese and Syrian borders. There are also U.S. warships in the Med. That is supposedly a deterrent to Hezbollah. But the are whack job fanatics that do not act rationally.
I’m primarily concerned with the wetbacks that have invaded America via the southern border. Supposedly there are 100,000 Chinese got aways. There are also many North Africans and ME illegals that are completely unvetted. I haven’t heard the numbers on those, but just yesterday there were live reports on Real America’s Voice of hundreds in Arizona waiting for buses. Those buses came, picked them up and drove north. By the way, the National Park Service would not allow closer filming. They made the camera crew move away. That totally pisses me off when our government allows wetback on our soil, but not America media.
I’m concerned about that ‘Day of Rage’ plan for tomorrow, as well. I live in California, so I sent a long text to one of my sisters who now lives near Detroit, Michigan, our hometown. She is acting Nanny for her 5 yr old Grandson.
I said, “I know this will sound odd, but i advise you to stay out of Dearborn, Mi, tomorrow and maybe through the weekend. Especially, stay clear of any Pro-Palestinian Rallies!”
For those who don’t know, Dearborn, Michigan has one of the largest Muslim populations in the United States.
She will probably think it’s just her educated, but Nutball California brother, overthinking something once again.
Chicago is about 50% larger in area than the entire Gaza Strip. Even on foot it would only take 2-3 hours for 99% of the population to get out of the northern section.

“ A lot of people here were claiming it would be mission impossible…”
The usual suspects.
AP and Al Jazeera were helping Hamas disseminate propaganda.
The building where those news agencies were headquartered in Gaza City no longer exists.
I’m not a 5-star general. Heck, I’m not even a 1-star general.
But I do know an old military saying: Cities are where armies go to die.
In other words, city fighting will grind up an army. The Battle of Stalingrad is a perfect example of that.
So I hope Israel will bomb and blockade Gaza, but will make no attempt to occupy it. It’s not worth the cost in blood.
If possible, text her a voice measage that is audible file, not text connverted. Perhaps hearing your voice will be more convincing? Just a thought.
True, but absolute air supremacy is a hell of an advantage. If a block is putting up a fight, level it with 2,000 lb JDAMS. You won’t take Gaza without casualties, but not taking Gaza likely means Hamas survives. Sufficient “preparation” of the battlefield will leave Hamas with far less capability to counter armor and infantry. Hamas murdered a thousand civilians, I think Israel is willing to do whatever it takes.
Not enough. All of them. Forever.
Unfortunately, I think Hamas survives regardless. They are an irregular force. When the battlefield gets too hot, they will melt into the civilian population and pretend to be innocent camel merchants, or whatever.
It’s a tough nut to crack. Perhaps the best thing to do is strike Hamas from the air whenever there is even a hint of them gathering together. That’s the way I think we should have handled the Taliban. Instead, W tried to occupy the whole country. Clear every town and every village. And we all know how that turned out.
Just my opinion. Which as my ex-wife used to say, usually isn’t worth much.
Good riddance. (Not to you, to my ex-wife.) 🙂
