Israel asserted on Sunday that, even as Hamas
..the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood,...has urged Paleostinians to stay put in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about
oppressionand
disproportionate response...
City while the IDF calls on them to evacuate, several of the terror group’s leaders have submitted requests for themselves and their family members to be allowed to exit the Strip.
Maj. Gen. Ghassan Alian, chief of the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories, posted in Arabic on Facebook about the "hypocritical attempts of bigwigs in Gaza City and the Hamas terror organization to evacuate their family members to a third country through the Israeli mechanism for evacuating Gaza residents."
On X, COGAT, a Defense Ministry body which coordinates humanitarian matters in the Gaza Strip, echoed that statement. The post did not include copies of the requests themselves, which the unit said it denied.

The posts from COGAT come as the IDF’s offensive to conquer Gaza City appears to be imminent. The military has been bombing high-rises in the city that it says were used by Hamas, and its troops have been fighting Hamas operatives in the city’s surroundings.
As the offensive nears, the IDF called on Paleostinians last week in all areas of Gaza City to leave. Out of the estimated 1 million Paleostinians there, the military said on Sunday that some 300,000 have since left for other areas of the Strip.
While Hamas calls the residents of Gaza City NOT to move south, its operatives fear for their own lives and are seeking to leave the Gaza Strip. They are using residents of northern Gaza as human shields while looking out for their own interests.

Two weeks ago, a member of the… pic.twitter.com/VD2WuD7J23
… of the Gaza City Council, Anwar Atallah, fled the Gaza Strip together with his family through the mechanism operated by Israel that allows Gazans to exit via Jordan to a third country.
Many other senior officials have submitted requests for their families to leave the Strip, and some have even asked to leave themselves, but their requests were denied by Israel.
Israel continues to call on residents of northern Gaza to move south for their protection.
The reported number of evacuees is rising despite efforts by Hamas to prevent civilians from leaving. In his post, addressing Gazan civilians, Alian called it “a vile campaign against you to serve its murderous goals.”
But at the same time, several Hamas officials have sought a way out of the Strip entirely, COGAT said. Those who submitted the requests to leave and were denied, the agency said, include Muhammad Madhoun, a minister in the Hamas government, together with his family members; the family of Isma’il al-Ashqar, head of Hamas’s Foreign Affairs and Security Committee; and the family of Alaa a-Din Bata, head of a Hamas government committee.
In addition, COGAT said that Gaza City Council member Anwar Atallah left the Gaza Strip two weeks ago with his family to an unnamed country via Jordan, “with the approval of the defense establishment.”
Alongside the evacuation effort, the IDF has continued to battle Hamas operatives around Gaza City.
In August, the IDF declared that Hamas’s Beit Hanoun Battalion had been defeated after the final remaining gunmen there were either killed or surrendered to troops. But Sunday’s announcement indicated that several operatives had either returned to the area or were previously undiscovered.
| So far, according to the military, the bodies of 11 Hamas operatives have been discovered inside the tunnels, including field commanders. |
As part of the operation, the IDF said ground troops directed an Israeli Air Force drone to strike several sites in Beit Hanoun, including tunnel shafts and a “significant” underground route. So far, according to the military, the bodies of 11 Hamas operatives have been discovered inside the tunnels, including field commanders.
Referencing the fighting, Alian urged civilians to leave the area, as he said Hamas’s local leaders were trying to do.
“While the Hamas terrorist organization calls on you, the residents of Gaza City, not to move south, its operatives fear for their own lives and are seeking to leave the Gaza Strip,” Alian wrote on Facebook. “They are using you as human shields while looking out for their own interests.”
“Hamas’s hypocrisy is blatant,” he continued. “While its operatives try to flee the Strip with their families, the murderous organization abandons you, the residents of Gaza, and exerts psychological terror on you to remain in Gaza City as human shields.”
