It appears that the IDF has taken off the gloves, and are preparing to show the muzzies what war looks like.
In a new tactic, Israel is warning civilians to evacuate neighborhood after neighborhood, and then inflicting devastation, in what could be a prelude to a ground offensive. On Tuesday, the military told residents of the nearby al-Daraj neighborhood to evacuate. New explosions soon rocked it and other areas, continuing into the night.
Tell the civilians to leave. It's an old tactic that has been used for hundreds of years. It is a mark of civilized warfare. Tell the civilians to leave.
If I were Netanyahu, I'd be saving my expensive, hi-tech precision munitions in favor of low-tech munitions. Pick an objective, rubble it with dumb bombs and artillery, then drop napalm on it . Civilian casualties? They were told to leave. It worked for us during WWII. It worked for Sherman during the Civil War.
When Hamas declared war on Israeli civilians, they cannot complain now when Israel returns the favor.

True, and I don't recall Hamas giving any warning to the Israeli civilians. I think this is an excellent strategy. First, it's payback. Second, it conforms to a more civilized rule of war. And third, it complicates Hamas's home front problems (food, mobility, medicine etc). To the extent they give a crap about those things, but it is difficult to maneuver when roads are crowded with people.
Amen
All of the Palestinian deaths in Gaza will be on Hamas.
See DEU 20:10-14 for Old Testament guidance.
Tl;Dr - give them the opportunity to surrender. If they don't, when you take the city, kill all the men, do as you like with the women and children (usually make them slaves and sell them.)
Leaving the city standing is optional.
