Israel on Saturday issued another urgent call for civilians living in the densely populated northern half of the Gaza Strip to immediately head south for their own safety, indicating that a widely expected ground offensive in the country’s week-old war against Hamas could soon commence.
“We advertise our intentions in advance, not because it has any military logic - it doesn’t - but because we want civilians not to be affected by the war,” said IDF Lt. Col. Jonathan Conricus. “We didn’t put those civilians there. They are not our enemy.” Jerusalem countered the unprecedented raid with an equally unprecedented series of air strikes against the Gaza Strip that Palestinian officials said resulted in the deaths of more than, 2,200 Gaza residents.
