I see that the IDF is dropping leaflets on north Gaza, tilling the civil population to get out. Move south.
That is the way civilized countries conduct themselves in urban warfare. The US did the same thing in WWII. I understand that Israel has also ben using text messages and social media to warn non-combatants of impending strikes in local areas.
We also note that Hamas did not drop leaflets prior to their incursion on Saturday. Unlike the IDF, their target was the civil population.
There will always be collateral damage in modern warfare. It is regrettable and inevitable. But, warning the civil population may minimize civilian casualties. That is the way moral countries conduct themselves. The Palestinian Authority should immediately begin an evacuation of non-combatants, or be complicit in the deaths of their citizens.
