Blitzer pressed Hecht on the logic involved in Israel’s decision to target the refugee camp.

“This is the tragedy of war, Wolf. We as you know, we’ve been saying for days, move south. Civilians who are not involved with Hamas, please move south.”

They have been bombing the southern humanitarian corridor too. So I am not sure what he is saying.

Also, the thing about battlefields is that eventually the north becomes the south. At least if you are winning.

They're saying that they consider all Palestinians to be terrorists. It's that simple.

Go south if you're not a terrorist, bombed because there may be terrorists in the mix.

Don't go south, but stay in a refuge camp. Bombed, because there may be terrorists in the mix.

They're all terrorists or terrorist sympathizers as far as IDF is concerned.

Gee... it's almost like "counter-terrorism" is just the politically correct term the propaganda-peddlers these days use so that they don't have to call it colonialist warfare.

Greta Thunberg posed with a "Free Palestine" sign after the retaliation started. The IDF complained that she wasn't telling their side, that Israel had just been attached. Therefore, she was labeled a terrorist sympathizer. That really boils down their mentality.

BBC Verify has analysed the Israeli strike locations and found that they are indeed striking 'safety zones' where IDF instructed Gazaans to take shelter. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-67264703
