    Hamas also told people not to leave the evacuation zone,

    then Israel admitted that they bombed a refugee camp in Jabalia, and then they apparently did it again in al-Maghazi, kinda validating what Hamas said

    have been using civilians and humanitarian structures as human shields,

    I recently typed out this comment in another thread about how we can’t trust Israel’s word about human shields because of their actions during the Great March of Return in 2017/2018 and how it’s a double standard anyways.

    and have been shooting at refugees trying to leave

    this is the first I’ve heard this accusation, and a quick google search for “hamas shoots fleeing refugees” and “hamas shoots gazans” didn’t turn up any results for me. Do you mind providing a source? FWIW, there is growing evidence that at least some of the October 7th death toll can be attributed to Israeli friendly fire due to a mix of desperation and combat confusion

      • Jabalia is in the evacuation zone.
      • The only info I can find about al-Maghazi are from Hamas sources, which are not reliable. IDF has not yet taken credit for this attack.
      • Israel has stated they will attack Hamas targets anywhere in Gaza, however bombings are significantly more intense in the evacuation zone and they have stated that IDF will consider anyone remaining there to be, “terrorist sympathizers,” i.e., potential enemy combatants. It still makes sense to leave.

      How exactly does this validate what Hamas said?

      You trust Hamas’s reports but not Israel’s? That seems foolish. Check out this NATO report on Hamas’ use of human shields. Plenty of news agencies are cited as having reported on evidence of this, including non-Israeli ones, (ANB TV, Al-Hayat newspaper, Der Spiegel newspaper, Palestine Info Center, Alwatan TV…)
