Israel - Palestinian militants launch massive attack, 7 Oct 2023 #9

And risk getting shot at by Hamas like the IDF did today. They won’t.
And IMO they are complicit to what is happening. They have allowed this to go on under their noses for years.

I've not heard how the evacuation went. I'd still take my chances. The risk in Gaza City is greater. Food, water, supplies will be cut off.

I don't believe IDF will allow aid in, now they control the southern border of Gaza City.
Moo...

Evacuation did not go well. IDF took an RPG from Hamas.
They will try again tomorrow.
Aid has been going in, daily. I believe 68 trucks today.

Heavy Fighting is currently ongoing near the Town of Kissufim on the Central Gaza Border following reports of a Terrorist Infiltration and at least 2 Anti-Tank Guided Missiles being launched at Israeli Troops possibly resulting in Casualties

I pray for her safety, her entire face is exposed. What a brave woman to speak out.

And...the UN and Red Cross side with Hamas, while the world provides everything the citizens need. They have allowed Hamas to take control.
Moo

Ummm...
IMO
Both UN and Red Cross "side" with VICTIMS of wars all over the world.

They are on the side of those who suffer, regardless of nationality, race or religion.

Their task is to bring help and hope.

IDF says it will allow four-hour window for civilians in Gaza to evacuate​

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said it will allow people in Gaza to move south on specified streets Sunday, despite its troops coming under fire on Saturday while trying to secure a safe corridor for civilians.

The main route for evacuation will be Salah Al-Deen Street, with a window between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. local time, according to Avichay Adraee, IDF spokesperson for the Arab media.

"If you care about yourself and your loved ones, head south according to our instructions. Rest assured that Hamas leaders are already taking care to protect themselves," Adraee said on X Saturday night.

It was unclear how widely the message will be received on the ground, given the widespread electricity and internet outages, or how safe the passage will be.

According to Adraee, Hamas on Saturday fired mortar and anti-tank shells toward Israeli forces "who were keen to open the road from the north of the Gaza Strip towards its south."

"Hamas members carried out this because they wanted to keep human shields for themselves and their leaders," he said. "For your safety, take advantage of the next time to move south beyond Wadi Gaza."

The IDF has repeatedly called for civilians in Gaza to move south of Wadi Gaza as it has intensified its air and ground assault on Gaza City and Northern Gaza, including strikes on densely populated areas and civilian infrastructure that the IDF says is being used by Hamas militants.

Didn't the UN fail to come up with a statement condemning Hamas attack on Israel 10/07?

For 29 days. Yes.

Captured #Hamas plans may indicate that Hamas units in parts of the northern outskirts of #GazaCity are screening for a main defensive effort in central Gaza City

IMO... Interesting maps, info at "critical threats" site.

Didn't the UN fail to come up with a statement condemning Hamas attack on Israel 10/07?

UN consists of, currently, 193 member states.
World Nations gather, discuss problems and try to find solutions together.

The UN charter certainly doesn't state such a simple and singular purpose. I wish it did stick to that task. Many think the UN has become very politicized.
The UN should refrain from making statements during a war, they are not trained in warfare and don't understand the logistics of fighting Hamas.
I hope the Red Cross found its way to the kibbutz and is helping the families missing those held as hostages.
MOO

Red Cross is always where it is needed.

"To bring assistance without discrimination to the wounded on the battlefield,
to alleviate human suffering wherever it may be found.
Its purpose is to protect life and health and to ensure respect for the human being".

It is their Mission.

Any chance that the protest was organised by Ceasefire ?? They (the Ceasefire lot) would be professional protestors. Their .ca folks show up to protest everything here in Canada it seems and they are a worldwide org.

Voices for Jewish Peace was founded by Noam Chomsky. They're very well known and so is he.

For me Mr Chomsky will always be

Gaza city walking tour prior to the Hamas massacre of civilians in Israel.
It's not a clean city. That stands out for me, but appears to be affluent in cultural context.

I know they are and who he is (is there anybody who doesn't know him!!??). I just thought though that they (V4JP) had joined in to a larger protest today.

One watches it with the awareness that a disaster is to struck.

Those walking seemingly relaxed then, now might be dead

Protestors in Washington might want to expand their minds and see the bigger picture, unless they are Palestinians living in the area. Then they are happy to hear this news.

Is it typical for a Russian Air Force (RFF) aircraft to be flying in the area?
