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.

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

Yep. If Israel flew a paper plane over Gaza, they’d get pummeled in the media, so I suspect they figure if that’s the case, then why not play HARD BALL...

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?

Seems to me that they are aghast and appalled that someone would do to them what they did first to others.

IOW, that someone would actually stand up to muslim bullying and give it right back.

They're so used to being coddled and given their own way that they are put out that they can't and they are having on giant, collective temper tantrum over it.
