Israel's initial stance was, indeed, that Palestinians should flee to Egypt. They backed off after Egypt gave a hard no.
Israel also didn't directly bomb the crossing, they've been bombing smuggling tunnels around the crossing, as that's how Hamas gets all of their weapons. So strikes on the area are likely to continue indefinitely. A moot point, as the border is fully shut, as per Egyptian orders.
As Hamas positions itself within civilian centers, what other solution does Israel have to stop them? As for whether Israel targets civilians, if that were the case the death tole in Gaza would be in the tens of thousands, not hundreds. |
Israel media reports that negotiations between US, Egypt and Israel are underway regarding a safe corridor from Gaza to Egypt. Obviously, Egypt wants nothing to do with 2 millions of refugees. On top of this, Hamas members, knowing that this is their last chance to survive, will do everything to pass as "civilians". So, US and Israel are basically trying to pay Egypt to take them, but no luck so far
