The IDF Spokesman Twitter account for Arabic has published guidance for Gazans to evacuate along two main roads between 10am and 4pm today (October 14th).

#Urgent Important statement for residents of Gaza City In recent days, we have appealed to you to leave Gaza City to the south of Wadi Gaza in order to preserve your safety. I would like to inform you that the IDF will allow movement on the indicated streets without any harm between the hours of 10:00 - 16:00. For your safety, take advantage of the short time to move towards the south - from Beit Hanoun to Khan Yunis. If you care about yourself and your loved ones, go south as instructed. Rest assured that Hamas leaders have taken care of themselves and are taking cover from strikes in the region. Residents of Al-Shati, Al-Rimal and West Al-Zaytoun will also be allowed to move on Daldul and Al-Sanaa Streets towards my street By At Saladin and the sea

Fuck Israel for doing this. Displacing an entire population of people. I’d bet money that MOSAD knew about this attack (maybe not to this degree), but expected that it’d give them all the political ammunition that they’d need to fuck over Palestinians even worse than they already have it.
Shin Bet (Mossad but domestic issues) DID actually warn the Likud party and Ben Netanyahu that the increased violence supported by the Israeli state against Palestinians in the West Bank (Al Aqsa Mosque, Jenin etc.) were going to increase tensions and risk a Hamas response.
They were largely ignored, mocked, or slandered as deep state arab supporters. Make no mistake that this is not only does this war serve Likud and Bibi, but also their long term interests in cleansing the west bank of Palestinians.
Also, Likud and Bibi’s successive govts took multiple policies to push Hamas into conflict with the Palestinian Authority (the actual elected govt of the West Bank) and in turn keep their political modus operandi against Palestinians from weakening.
I’m sure one of the largest and most advanced intelligence services in the world isn’t operating in a neighbouring territory which their bosses have significant geopolitical interests
Idk what to tell you, that’s just not their job. Since Palestinian affeirs were considered domestic historically and therefore the Shin Bet handles them. It stayed that way when Israel withdrew from Gaza
That’s an ominously round shapefile they used to mark the evacuation boundary…
They wont. But if they did, it would be an interesting political move. It would demonstrate unambiguously that:
-
they have nukes (everybody sorta knows, but its never been confirmed)
-
they are willing to use them in anger against their enemies (only the second country to use them against enemies)
-
they are willing to engage in a first strike (many countries are comitted to not being the first to send the spicy boi)
-
they are willing to use them against a non-existential threat (many countries intend only to use them only when faced with, or after experiencing annihilation)
-
they are willing to use them on their own doorstep, to the peril of hostages, enemy civilians, and their own citizens/fisheries/farmland in the region
This would be such a radical nuclear doctrine that it would genuinely give all arab countries, and Iran, pause to consider their own safety.
If Israel used nukes on Gaza it would mean that the gloves are off and there’s nothing stopping Russia from deploying nuclear munitions in Ukraine or other nuclear backed states to use it in conflict areas.
Just to make sure I understand your argument, you think Israel is going to nuke Gaza? In that case, I have a very lucrative bridge to sell you.
if they’re posting it to twitter, hearing in mind power and internet are totally cut in Gaza, this is for YOU to read, not Palestinians.
when civilians are inevitably killed they’ll tell the press that it was “clearly communicated through official channels” and everyone online will just take the IDF at its word.
I think they’ve been dropping leaflets and some people still have access.
Sure, but the act of telling the UN and social media was to make the case of the fabled civilian insurgent when these people are killed, including the ones killed by IDF when travelling along the very roads in the graphic.
I do think they want them out, but for tactical rather than humanitarian reasons.

The safe way to move civilians south
Street name 1
Street name 2
Yellow line: Safe route
Dotted lines: Gaza Border

Also those paths are roughly 10 miles long for anyone unfamiliar with the region or to lazy to check Google maps.
And Israel has already bombed a convoy following that exact route. There’s no reason for Palestinians to trust this, if they could even get on the internet to begin with.
The twitter post has a lot more content. That’s the translation I was referring to.
I’m dumb.

Fuck the Israelis state of apartheid for doing this. Displacing an entire population of people.
Fuck the terrorist organization Hamas, slaughtering innocent people in their homes. Also fuck the terrorist organization Hamas for not lifting a single finger to care for their population who elected them in democratic elections. Fuck them for not only not defending them - but actively put them in danger, starting a conflict with Israel then hiding in civillian homes and preventing those citizens from fleeing a war zone.
