Probably. But if the “civilians” are heading south, chances are that Hamas will blend in with them and take the hostages with them. If they’re still alive.

Oh wait — maybe there are some hamas-sniffing dogs (they’re the ones that have had a shower within the past month).

A noble cause, but likely to be fruitless and certain to be dangerous to IDF.

If there aren’t special forces already in place south of Wadi Gaza, they’re doing it wrong. And I very much doubt they’re doing it wrong.

The earlier version of inhumane killers in WWII used to place concentration camp captives so Allied bombers would kill them if they tried to target the camps.

And of course the current hostages are in places to put them at risk.

I wonder when the live internet murders will start?

Fill the the tunnels with Poison gas and kill them all.
All civilians and hostages will die too. That’s a hard choice, I don’t know if I would make it :(
