Israel’s military has informed the United Nations that the entire population of northern Gaza should relocate to the southern half of the territory within 24 hours, the U.N. spokesman, Stéphane Dujarric, said late on Thursday night, adding that such a movement — involving over one million people — would lead to “devastating humanitarian consequences.”

“The same order applied to all U.N. staff and those sheltered in U.N. facilities — including schools, health centers and clinics,” Mr. Dujarric said.

The U.N. was told that the marker dividing the north from south was Wadi Gaza, the statement said.

The U.N. Security Council is scheduled to hold an emergency meeting on Friday afternoon in a closed consultation format

    This just seems unlikely to me. But I do believe the Iranians funded and assisted with the planning of the attack.

    I get the feeling that Hamas was maybe even a little surprised by how successful the attack was. Which has brought about a reprisal even they didn’t see coming.

      You really think Mossad and the five eyes missed the largest terrorist buildup ever in the most surveilled place on earth? AFTER Egypt warned them?

      Wanna buy a bridge?

        Lol. Did the us miss multiple warnings before 9/11? Do major nations routinely miss warning signs of impending terror attacks? Literally happens all the time.

        You’re telling me that Israel was able to convince 1500 Jews to infiltrate Gaza, join hamas, or I guess just enter Gaza, then launch a coordinated strike against their own people with the help of the Palestinians or without the Palestinians knowing , and then accept the suicide mission while also showing extreme brutality against their own people while also kidnapping Jews to take back to Gaza.

        Then they had to continue to bluff as members of Hamas and keep those hostages in Gaza and somehow not have the actual Hamas go hey wait a minute we didn’t do this.

        All of this while the whole event is filmed, the men appear to be speaking Arabic, look to be Arab in complexion while also being younger men instead of say trained special forces.

        And you think I’m the one who is in the market for a bridge?

        I suspect you’re somewhere on the q anon spectrum and are trying to decide if it was the Jews or the lizard people behind this, so hey keep up the crack detective work. You guys are killing it.

        Their regional rival Saudi Arabia is in talks with Israel to make an alliance with them and the u.s. in exchange for military aid. With recent events they now have to either

        1. Give up on the alliance and the military aid and getting all the latest in military tech.
        2. Continue forth with the alliance and make themselves look like a bootlicking puppet of the u.s. in front of the entire Arab world.
