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

Hamas didn't resume rocket fire. The 2012 era ceasefire is the one where they kept firing rockets.

From December 2012 to late June/early July 2014, Hamas did not fire rockets into Israel, and tried to police other groups doing so.[111] These efforts were largely successful; Netanyahu stated in March 2014 that the rocket fire in the past year was the "lowest in a decade."[29][111][112] According to Shabak, in the first half of 2014 there were 181 rocket attacks[113] compared to 55 rocket attacks in whole 2013.

Lowest isn't none.

It literally says "Hamas did not fire rockets into Israel, and tried to police other groups doing so". That's fulfilling their end of the bargain.

[-] mwguy@infosec.pub 1 points 11 months ago

Allowing rockets to be fired from your territory is an act of war.

Okay you're just being obnoxious.

Yet somehow the PLA in the much larger West Bank manages.

[-] NoneOfUrBusiness@kbin.social 1 points 11 months ago

They... Don't. There are resistance/terrorist organizations based out of the West bank; they just aren't as famous as Hamas. And it doesn't help that there are people who don't want peace and will actively work to disturb it.

[-] mwguy@infosec.pub 1 points 11 months ago

They largely do. Almost every rocket attack has come from the Gaza Strip.

I mean yes, your point? Tell you what I don't need to hear it. You're arguing in circles now and I have better things to do with my life.
