Hamas tells Gaza residents to stay put as Israel ground offensive looms
REUTERS ^ | October 13, 2023

Posted on 10/13/2023 7:58:20 AM PDT by McGruff

Mosques broadcast messages telling Gaza Strip residents to stay put on Friday, in defiance of an Israeli military call for more than a million civilians to move south within 24 hours in the build-up to its expected ground offensive.

Leaders of the enclave's governing militant group Hamas also urged Palestinians to ignore the call, and by Friday afternoon there were no signs of any mass exodus from the north of the enclave.

...

Gaza analyst Talal Okal described the Israeli relocation order as an “attempt to push the Palestinian people of Gaza into Nakba".

A “Stay In Place” order.

Now you know what they’re for.

Those in charge who want to leave don’t want to be slowed down by the mob’s traffic jam.

Fair enough! They have been duly warned and accomodated. I hope Israel proceeds to press them into grease and flush them into the Med. It’s gonna leave quite an oil slick.

“Human shields”

Nope, not this time, not after 1000 Israelis dead. Israel won’t kill obvious civilians that can be identified prior to shooting, but everyone else will be hostile.

They should have left.

If Gaza is an “Open Air Prison” it is because Hamas has made it so…

I believe the yankees in charge of us were in danger of running out of Ukrainians to kill. Don’t worry, there are a bunch of Middle Easterners left. When they run out, we can start on the Asians again.

yes, I’ve heard Hamas wants dead civilians, so they can go on CNN and accuse Israel of atrocities.

In the propaganda war, Hamas wants us all to ignore the fact that they started a war, and focus on casualties caused by the “evil” Israel.

After Afghanistan it took several months to get the next forever war going in Ukraine. They’ve sped up the time table now because the Uke War isn’t producing enough Carnage any more. No breaks allowed.

Forever war.

Hamas will start killing civilians if they start moving south. They want dead bodies to show on TV.

It is only 25 miles from north Gaza to south Gaza, a bus token ride away. IMHO, it appears to me that the game plan is to offer them food, medical, and water and tent and sleeping bags there a few days to a week or two and eliminate the starving people from the siege narrative while they try to isolate Hamas from the civilian population. Yup, uncomfortable and inconvenient. But, hey, Israel didn’t start this war and didn’t dance in the streets like many civilians they want to go south to stay safe. It would probably take 3-5 days to have a bus evacuation southward while many would drive or even walk there. The big problem is either Hamas will imbed themselves with the southbound crowd or that a lot of civilians will stay north and act as a shield to provide Hamas propagandists with the civilian genocide from the skies story line for the world media.
