Meanwhile, a missile fired by Iranian-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen set off rocket sirens in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. The Israeli military said it was working to intercept the projectile, which was fired after Israel carried out airstrikes on the rebel-held port city of Hodeida in Yemen.

The Houthis have regularly fired drones and missiles at Israel in what they say is solidarity with the Palestinians. The vast majority have been intercepted or landed in open areas without causing casualties or damage. Israel has carried out waves of retaliatory strikes on Yemen.

Israeli military believes there are still 2,000 to 3,000 Hamas militants left in Gaza City, as well as tunnels used by the group. Hamas’ military capabilities have been vastly diminished. It now mainly carries out guerrilla-style attacks, with small groups of fighters planting explosives or attacking military outposts before melting away.

An estimated 1 million Palestinians were living in the Gaza City region before warnings to evacuate began ahead of the offensive, and the Israeli military estimates 350,000 people have left the city.

A U.N. estimate on Monday said that over 220,000 Palestinians have fled northern Gaza over the past month. But hundreds of thousands more have stayed behind.

By the end of the current operation, an Israeli military graphic suggested its troops hope to control all of the Gaza Strip except for a large swath along the coast.

Palestinians are displaced to begin with.
They are NOT from Israel. They are rejects from other “Arab” countries.

Wow that city 🏙️ looks like
Old Testament-style destruction

I don’t know how anyone could
survive with Hamas and other
Islamic factions in power

Remember when Terrorist
Yasser Arafat was having
people hanged in the streets
for informing the Israelis?

“An entire family!”

The Gazans were warned ahead of time and allowed to leave. Were these muslims weeping for the Israeli familes wiped out on October 7th? Those Jewish families had no warning, were not allowed to leave, but were slaughtered or taken captive.

Shed no tears for muslim residents of Gaza City, they are evil and brought death upon themselves. I hope the IDF kills them all.

Brother Dave Hunt (now with the Lord)
noted that Kuwait deported 300,000
Palestinians decades ago and no one
got all excited about that event...

How could they have lived there in the first place? That place looks worse than a Mad Max movie set.

These folks look like real refugees, not the almost idyllic life they lived prior to October 7th. I wonder what they think of Hamas now?

Re: "Thousands of Palestinians flee..."

Pure theater.

Israel informed the locals two months ago to move out.

“Palestinians” are famous for being thrown out of several countries in the arab world for fomenting violence against their host countries governments. In addition to Kuwait, they were thrown out of Syria, Jordan and Lebanon.
