It would be nice if the 1200 raped, butchered, executed and 240 hostages were warned and re-located.
I saw cars being filled with gas, citizens shopping for fresh produce and many harassing and degrading our hostages over the last several nights.

It looks so easy going from A to B, from one alert area to the next.
Hamas did nothing for them during the cease fire, which is not a surprise. Since Hamas has literally said they don't care. Until the Palestinian people, or maybe I should just say the people of Gaza, rise up, denounce and overthrow Hamas, this is going to be their fate. They seem to be expecting someone to come in and save them. That isn't going to happen.‘We are abandoned’: Ceasefire made little difference to displaced in Gaza
It took only seconds for the bombs to start falling on Gaza again. The week-long ceasefire ended at 7am local time, and almost immediately the sound of explosions filled the corridors of al-Nasr hospital in the south of the territory.
By mid-morning, 32 people were dead and the already crowded wards of Gaza’s remaining hospitals were struggling with a new influx of patients, according to local reports.
He spoke from a room crammed with children; families seeking treatment for injuries or the infectious diseases that are spreading fast, mixed together in hospitals with those seeking shelter from the gathering cold.
Nowhere feels safe from bombs, he added, as he described the rapid resumption of hostilities; one had already landed just a few dozen meters away from the hospital.
The people of Gaza know what is coming, after seven weeks of intense bombardment and a ground invasion in the north that killed more than 15,000 people, over two-thirds of them women and children.

‘There is nowhere to go’: Israeli bombing resumes in besieged Gaza
Fresh attacks target a population weakened by weeks without food, clean water or sanitation
Been monitoring flight tracker since about 5:00 a.m. EST. There has been no flights in or out of tel Aviv for the past several hours. The airport is completely empty. I found this so odd, now I know why.
Iranian-Backed Militias in Iraq and Syria had stated previously that they would Escalate their Attacks on U.S. Forces in the Region if Combat Operations by Israel against Hamas had Resumed; now that the Ceasefire has Ended, we should expect for a Significant Increase in those Attacks over the next 24-48 Hours.
Qatar: IDF Gaza bombing complicates talks to restore truce
Sides blame each other for ceasefire ending; Khan Younis, Rafah targeted by airstrikesm.jpost.com
“Qatar calls on the “international community to move quickly to stop the violence,” it said, as it underscored that efforts were ongoing to mediate a second truce that would include hostage releases.
It spoke up after a fragile temporary truce that had begun on the morning of November 24th, and which accompanied a hostage deal, fell apart at 7 a.m.”

Hamas: It doesn't matter how many hostages are still alive
A senior Hamas member said that the family of 10-month-old Kfir Bibas "paid the price because of the occupation."

“When asked by CBS how many hostages are still alive, the senior Hamas member, Ghazi Hamad, stated "I don't know. The number is not so important."”
Yes, I am upset and sickened at the carnage being dished out on innocents. What comes to mind is this..."choose your enemies well, lest you become like them"
Field hospitals and aid is available on the S/W coast. Not idea, but the best available under the rule of hamas.
