At least 274 Palestinians were killed and 698 wounded in Israeli strikes on the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza, Gaza’s health ministry said on Sunday. The Israeli military said its forces came under heavy fire during the daytime operation.
The EU’s top diplomat, Josep Borrell, called it a “massacre”, while the UN’s aid chief described in graphic detail scenes of “shredded bodies on the ground”.
“Nuseirat refugee camp is the epicentre of the seismic trauma that civilians in Gaza continue to suffer,” Martin Griffiths said in a post on X, calling for a ceasefire and the release of all hostages.
Maybe in a sectioned off portion of their tunnel system, one where Hamas fighters are defending them without Palestinian civilians in between. I haven’t heard of Palestinians being allowed to camp out in there, so that might be a better place to keep hostages than apartment buildings. They could then keep fighting segmented more easily I would imagine and preserve more civilian lives.
Riiight. After Israel has carpet bombed AND bulldozed much of Gaza.
Show me on a map where you think the in-tact tunnel systems are located.
So you’re saying it isn’t safe for Hamas to be keeping hostages in those areas right? So why keep them there? And they’re underground, some went to Egypt.
Assuming what I said vs what I actually wrote is silly at best.
Ass-u-me
I think you’re responding to a different comment.
No.
Instead of reading and understanding what I wrote, you decided on your own interpretation of it … which is an assumption.
Are all the tunnels gone? If not, can the hostages go there? If they’re all gone, is Hamas now hiding out above ground only? That’d be news to me. Otherwise I think letting at least hostages in, and maybe some civilians, would be safer. As you said, the area is getting bombed, and since Hamas hides amongst the civilians, as shown here, above ground is not safe for civilians based on Hamas’ tactics and netanyahu’s willingness to drive hard. So why does Hamas choose this route?
