Israel drops leaflets on parts of southern Gaza suggesting possible expansion of offensive against Hamas

Israel has dropped leaflets across parts of southern Gaza calling on civilians to evacuate and “head towards known shelters,” indicating Israel could soon expand its ground operation against Hamas to the south of the enclave.

Leaflets were dropped Wednesday on four communities to the east of Khan Younis, the largest city in southern Gaza, warning people living there to “evacuate your residence immediately.”

The communities – Al Qarrah, Khuza’a, Bani Suhaila, and Absaan – are near the perimeter fence separating the Gaza Strip from Israel, suggesting possible new incursion points by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) looking to take control of the south.

“Everyone who finds themselves near the terrorists or their buildings expose their lives to danger. Every house used by terrorist organizations will be targeted. Respecting the instructions of the IDF will prevent you, the civilians, being exposed to harm,” the leaflet read.

The director of the Norwegian Refugee Council, which has staff in Gaza, suggested Wednesday in a social media post that members of his local team had seen the leaflet. Reuters also said it had spoken to people who had seen it.

CNN has tried to speak to contacts in the Khan Younis area who might have seen the leaflet themselves, but efforts have been hindered by poor communications in the enclave. The main UN relief agency in Gaza said Thursday there was a “total communication blackout” in the enclave.

Leaflets said, in Arabic,

They better hurry up with that, and make damn sure they do enough damage quickly. It won't be long before they are blocked from proceeding further.

The only thing that could stop the IDF at this point is the Israeli government. And that ain’t gonna happen.

Let me guess, the Palestinians are aghast and appalled that someone dares ignored their border and comes across to do mayhem? Did I guess right?

I’m all for a cease fire. Of course that would be after Israel wipes out all of the Palis.

Are Palestinians double jointed?

'Cause this is pretty much "Bend over and kiss your butt goodbye".

There is ZERO reason to do any “Negotiation” with Hamas..the majority of the hostages are dead..the IDF is finding dead hostages everyday, just destroy every single member of Hamas, KILL THEM ALL and bring the hostages home

The Israelis are doing a number on the Gazans, and you can’t say they haven’t deserved it. They, and others, need to be taught a lesson that they’ll remember for a long, long time.

They should be deported to a refugee camp somewhere by the Dead Sea in the West Bank. They should all get special passes, that'll restrict their movement in the West Bank. Other Palestinians will get the hunt. Don't follow the Gazans.
