Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) are prohibiting Gaza residents from leaving. Israel has supplied evacuation notices and warned civilians to flee, however that isn’t potential. The terrorists have advised the civilians that these warnings from Israel are nothing greater than psychological warfare and to remain put.
On October 10, 2023, the spokesperson division of Hamas’s inside ministry wrote on the ministry’s Telegram channel: “An important note: We repeat our call on the residents to ignore the voice messages being sent randomly by the occupation to their phones demanding that they leave their homes. Their goal is to arouse panic and fear as part of a psychological warfare [campaign] accompanying the occupation’s aggression against us.” One other message was posted on October 8 to a distinct Telegram channel: “”An vital be aware: The occupation has been randomly sending audio and recorded messages to the telephones of Gaza residents demanding that they depart their houses. We name on civilians to disregard such messages, that are aimed toward arousing panic and concern and within the framework of a psychological warfare [campaign] accompanying the occupation’s aggression in opposition to our folks.”
As I defined in one other submit, Hamas is utilizing Palestinian civilians as their human shields. They strategically positioned their weapons and secret navy bases in public areas reminiscent of colleges, hospitals, and mosques. They imagine they may acquire sympathy from the worldwide group when these areas are bombed by Israeli forces with civilians inside. Hamas wouldn’t stand an opportunity if the civilians weren’t unknowingly guarding them. Hamas will proceed to retreat behind the civilians they declare they wish to liberate. Palestine has no authorities to overpower the terrorist group, and lots of have been efficiently satisfied that Hamas are their protectors.
