Jerusalem (AFP) - The Israeli army on Monday sent messages to thousands of Palestinians living near Gaza City to flee shortly after a mortar shell killed at least four people in Israel.
"A short while ago, phonecalls were made and text messages were sent out to the civilian population of Shejaiya, Zeitun and eastern Jabaliya calling them to evacuate immediately towards central Gaza City," a statement from the army said, referring to three areas to the north, south and east of Gaza City.

Hamas wants as many of their people killed so that they can quickly blame Israel and the Jew Hating press will side with Hamas
Yeah I agree....but four dead might be a game changer in regards to Israels commitment.
Lawn mowing to earth moving now?
Unleash the dogs. Open a can. Bounce their rubble.
I heard it could be as many as 6 dead..not sure if they are soldiers or civilians visiting soldiers in that area. If I were Israel I would just flatten Gaza, but I understand that can’t be done
Israel tries to exempt enemy civilians from the war while the Mohammedans try to get as many of their own civilians killed as possible. Things are definitely not in balance here.
For every violation of Israel’s sovereignty, they should permanently take a 10 meter strip from West to East of Gaza from the North. Squeeze the remaining population Southward, until they use the tunnels to flee into Egypt.
“Hamas wants as many of their people killed so that they can quickly blame Israel and the Jew Hating press will side with Hamas”
It’s going to happen anyway.
These mutts want to play hardball? Then Israel should give them the Dresden treatment and be done with it.
Its because Hamas knows that the majority of the news media is Anti Israel so they know they can get away with it. During the cease fire, Hamas killed 32 Palestinians who told IDF soldiers where to find tunnels..then what happened..Hamas said that Israel killed those same people and the media reported it..Hamas has the media eating right out of their hands
Followed by an airborne, weaponized Ebola bio-warfare strike.
Send them virgin hunting.
The modern version of salting the ground...
“Hamas has the media eating right out of their hands”
That’s my point, if you can’t win for losing, then you do what you have to do.
That is why the call it ‘asymmetric warfare.’
Hamas is fighting in the news media and on YouTube and doing pretty well. Casualties actually help them - the more dead bodies they can post on YouTube, the better they will do.
When the IDF leaves Gaza Hamas will claim victory by the dint of their continued existence in Gaza.
I am sure the Israelis understand this better than I do, but, IMHO, by trying to fight Hamas for public opinion, they fight against their enemy’s strength and weaken themselves in other arenas.
I agree. Israel and all the Jewsin the world are going tobe blamed by the United States and the rest of what was once Western Civilization for Holocaust no matter what they do or don’t do. They should do what they need to do. The reaction of world opinion is the same, no matter what they do. Essentially the entire world wants the Jews extinct. The post Christian West would like to kill off the Jews by enhanced attrition whereas the Mohammedans prefer some sort of spectacular slaughter.
and probably advising Hamas about how to get the best mileage out of the Press.
Hamas will always have CNN, MSNBC, NBC, The New York Slimes, etc etc..people who hate Jews are always going to hate, that is why Israel has to say F off to Obama and his cronies and just continue doing what they are doing..there are hundreds, thousands of these damn tunnels still left..these tunnels end up in Kibbutz’s in Israeli homes..the big massacre was supposed to happen on Rosh Hashanah, one of the tunnels even ended up in a kindergarten..that is what Hamas thinks about human life..they want to kill everyone and everything that gets in their way, Israeli’s, and their own people
The Obama Admin and Hamas are BFF’s..they are both advising each other..look back at 2008, Hamas gave lots of money to the Obama campaign..that was something the media never reported on
“The post Christian West would like to kill off the Jews by enhanced attrition whereas the Mohammedans prefer some sort of spectacular slaughter.”
That’s a very astute observation. I’m going to use that, if you don’t mind.
