The U.N. Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) estimates that the city’s population has grown to at least 1.4 million, more than five times its prewar count, with thousands of people sleeping in tents with little protection.

That's nearly 3/4ths of the whole population of the Gaza Strip at this point.

Evacuate: forcibly relocate almost a million and a half people, which is a war crime. Another example of this would be the Trail of Tears.

Attack Hamas: killing at least twice as many civilians as Hamas "fighters". That's the OFFICIAL numbers that the IDF are very proud of but refuse to prove, so the actual ratio is almost definitely much worse.
