Discussion thread for the Hamas Attacks Israel thread, October 2023

[Babale]

Israel does not expect the evacuation of Gaza to take 24 hours, claims of a deadline are misleading:

IDF trying to minimize harm to Gazan civilians, spokesman says

We are fighting a terror group, not the Gazan population. We want civilians not to be harmed, but we cannot live with the rule of Hamas-ISIS* near our border

“Hamas carried out one of the most horrific acts the world has seen, we are carrying out an effort to evacuate residents in order to deepen the damage, to collapse this organization,” Hagari says.

After the UN says such an evacuation within 24 hours would be impossible, Hagari says, “We understand it will take several days.”

*the translation reads ISIS but what he said was Daesh, which is a derogatory term for ISIS used by ISIS’s Arab-speaking enemies. So he is using a name which other Arabs use to highlight ISIS’s brutality and applying it to Hamas.
