For weeks, Israel's military has warned people in the north of Gaza to head south, saying it is safer.
Dozens of people have been reported killed by overnight Israeli air strikes in the Gazan cities of Khan Younis, Rafah and Deir al-Balah
The cities are in the southern part of the Gaza Strip, where civilians have been advised to move by Israel's military.
The Israel Defense Forces have not commented on the strikes - but said they took control of a Hamas stronghold in northern Gaza in recent fighting
I think that Hamas is using Palatine citizens as human shields, and that is no right to bomb children, schools, hospital, and so on to kill both Hamas and Palastine citizens. Instead using special opperations to get Hamas instead of treating the solution as one clear cut enemy.
I believe Israel has the right to defend itself against terrorists but they are practically committing genocide by bombing and killing innocent civilians in Gaza. It is unfair and they are ethnically cleansing the land to be rid of Palestinians.
So agree, I have such trouble supporting any side with all the violence.
So agree. I want to support Israel as another Democratic (ish) nation or at least as an ally of the US but I just can't bring myself to agree with the way it's happening.
Violence begets violence and now we have this situation. I would love it if we could send Humanitarian support to both sets of civilians but I would be worried that both governments would use that to gain some kind of advantage.

People in other areas should not have to suffer about what is going on in another area or face the consequences
@9GS4SJY6mos6MO
While Hamas shouldn't harbour leaders in densely populated areas to act as human shields, that does not give Israel the express permission to bomb areas due to 'military targets'. Both sides commit illegal actions.
It needs to be talked about more and people need to be more educated and aware of the topic.
@9GS24HG6mos6MO
I think that this war is just killing innocent people from both sides.
Both sides are being horrible to one another, but committing acts of terrorism to start a war should be condoned upon.
@9GRNN6G6mos6MO
I think the death of innocent people is the most important because it shows who is truly affected by war.
@9GRRVHQRepublican6mos6MO
I think that we're killing more people than we need to. We have to find a better way to address this situation and not participate in this war.
@9GSDV666mos6MO
As a Christian, it is sad to see the homeland of Israel being attacked. It is prophesied that god will come down when the war begins to save and fight the battle.
@9GS8TKP6mos6MO
I think that isreal needs to be held accountable for what it did, same with the us
@9GRZDM3Independent6mos6MO
I think that both sides are awful. bith the jews and the palestinians have committed atrocities and are oppresssed
@9GRMFCL6mos6MO
It is truly a tragedy that Israel is attacking Gaza cities. And it's appalling that America is choosing to stand by Israel.
@9GS393R6mos6MO
If Israel surrenders Hamas will continue killing them. If Hamas surrenders Israel will take the Hamas terrorists and leave palestine
@9GRZS656mos6MO
The United States sending funds to Israel is a heinous, evil act. When billionaires went missing in a submarine, the nation was fully tuned in and did anything to help find them. But of course when non-American citizens need our help, no one seems to care and the government views them as terrorists. FREE PALESTINE
@9GS54G36mos6MO
Israel should pay for its war crimes by returning to its pre-1948 state borders (they had none) and PROPERLY pay for the land from Palestine, creating a new state for both Israeli and Palestinian people. The US and UK should acknowledge their hypocrisy in giving away land and occupying land that was not theirs, and allowing others to do the same because they benefit monetarily.
@9GRSGL56mos6MO
A stronger form of superpower-funded intervention.
@9GS4BBR6mos6MO
We as in the united states should act on the situation to stop these killings.
@9GRWL6M6mos6MO
I think the U.S. is too partial to the emotional responses of the Israeli government. We need to step back and develop a strategy.
@9GS4KLV6mos6MO
It’s useless bombing innocents just for land that isn’t even close to our country
@9GRYNGS6mos6MO
Things like this are quickly brushed over by our governments and they dont listen to the people before making these decisions for the entire country without proper protection.
@9GSBLVN6mos6MO
It’s really sad to hear because Israel directed Palestinians to flee to southern Gaza for safety just for them to be bombed while trying to escape.
@9GS47RKPeace and Freedom6mos6MO
I think that the fact on how Hamas attacked Israel first is very stupid and irrational. At the same time, Israel's use of white phosphorus is insane.
@9GRPB8LRepublican6mos6MO
even though innocent people are dying it is only retaliation by the israli government to terrorist actions and the palestinian "government" put their own people in danger
@9GS8PSC6mos6MO
I think that Israel is doing the right thing by attack because they have to protect their own citizens. If they don’t defend themselves then Hamas will keep killing innocent people. - Israel’s main goal is to kill the terrorists not the citizens whereas Hamas’s goal is (written in their charter) is to kill all Jewish people.
- Israel cares more about the people in Gaza than their own government (Hamas) does. The Israel government warned the people of Gaza where they will be attacking and told them to evacuate, but the Hams government blocked the roads and told its citizens to stay.
- Hamas uses their people as human shields. Hamas plants missiles behind hospitals and sets up base camps in hospitals so that the Israel government won’t attack.
@9GSDCPV6mos6MO
Israel is committing war crimes.
@9GS2H456mos6MO
People are dying, and nobody is working to stop the perpetrators
@9GRRBZ66mos6MO
I think that we need to do something about this maybe help secretley.
@9GRSFNG6mos6MO
I am a very religious person. I know that this war will bring about the War of Armageddon, which is said to be the time of the second coming of Jesus Christ. This war is horrible, but it has to happen in order to progress the world along to Christ's second coming.
We must have prove if Israel was the country who did this, if we don’t, then we could be starting a full major war with other countries as well.
@9GRXNNB6mos6MO
The Zionist State is a wolf in sheep's clothing, playing a victim and committing atrocities
does people should be recognized by the people
@9GSJMZG6mos6MO
It is very interesting and scary
@9GS2ML2 6mos6MO
the people and children in gaza should be protected.
@9GS7LT56mos6MO
Gets us a better understanding on why people are getting killed, maybe helps others from getting caught.
@9GRPWPQ6mos6MO
I think that Isrealei is committing genocide and the world should be aware of this.
@9GS3ZRL6mos6MO
result of military industrial complex
@9GSF5NZ6mos6MO
The U.S. government needs to start sending more aid to Palestine instead of Isriel
@9GS3QVP6mos6MO
The U.S should stop funding Ukraine and protect Israel.
@9GRMDDM6mos6MO
The U.S. needs to help these poor people out
@9GSWX436mos6MO
We need to help while not getting into a war.
@9GSVMCSPeace and Freedom6mos6MO
I think that war should stop, they both have enough land ad they don't need more and cause more trouble.
@9GSK7GX6mos6MO
i think this has a huge impact on the people in southern Gaza and needs more recognition and action taken upon the situation.
