There must be hamas in the area, they fired rockets from Rafah just a day or so ago.

Stands to reason.

The population of Rafah has increased almost tenfold to over 1.5 million since the IDF’s campaign of indiscriminate revenge began. They herded everyone to this supposedly ‘safe’ zone and are now bombing the fück out of it in the hope of killing a tiny number of terrorists and to hell with the innocent civilians.

Does that sound proportionate to you?

Can’t you see what the Israeli government is doing here?

You should know better than that by now...

*Awaits unfounded accusations of being pro Hamas and anti Semitic from certain deluded quarters*

Normal military tactics, move civilians out of the way whilst engaging enemy.

Now the Israeli want the civilians to move north to camps they've provided to engage the enemy in their final stronghold in Rafah.

You cannot seriously believe that telling civilians to move south, attacking the area you said was safe and then assuring their safety in a totally different region is "normal"?

It's psychotic behaviour. And I don't use that word lightly.

Which do you prefer carpet bombing with cluster armour ments, bunker busting bombs, or tell the civilians to clear out to a safer area?

It's war, Israel have always said they will hunt down any fighters anywhere in and out of Gaza.

Are you deliberately ignoring what I've written? Or what's actually happening?

Perhaps you're just playing this for japes like you do on the gender thread.

I suspect he doesn't care and genuinely sees no harm in deliberately killing thousands of civilians to get at a limited and ever-decreasing number of Hamas militants. Ends justify means and all that and they're only Arabs.

Sad but clearly true.
