Israel has continued bombarding Gaza’s south despite telling 1.1 million people in the north of the besieged enclave to relocate there ahead of an expected ground offensive.

“We were displaced from Tal al-Hawa to Rafah at the request of the Israeli army, and this is what happened to us. My son is a 3-month-old martyr,” the father of a child killed in an attack in Rafah told Al Jazeera.

I'd be careful with using these numbers as they are difficult to verify and often come from Hamas themselves. That is not to dismiss lives lost but raise awareness about committing to accurate information.

Were you this skeptical about Ukraine, Xinjiang and elsewhere too, or is it just going to be a thin wrapper of Palestinian sympathy over your enforced support for Zionist Anglo empire agenda?

Here's the problem. In making your point you can't help yourself but make assumptions about my beliefs and stances. You should always be careful about your information sources no matter the topic at hand.
