Accordant to a report, Palestinian residents asserted Thursday that Israeli planes dropped flyers into Gaza urging them to abandon their homes and head to “known shelters” or risk being harmed.
According to The Associated Press, flyers in the city of Beit Lahiya stated, “Anyone who comes close to Hamas terrorists puts their life in danger.” “Adhering to IDF instructions will prevent you from being exposed to danger.”
The Associated Press added, however, that Israeli airstrikes had already struck the northern Gaza Strip region where Palestinians reported discovering the posters.
AP reports that a U.N. agency for Palestinian refugees has stated that 10 of its shelters have been attacked since Israel began conducting retaliatory bombardment against Hamas following the terrorist organization’s initial attack on Saturday.

Earlier today, Israel’s president, Isaac Herzog, engaged in a heated exchange with a journalist regarding the selection of targets in Gaza. According to Israel, Hamas has been using residential areas to discharge missiles into the Jewish state.
“With all due respect, am I permitted to defend myself if you have a missile in your kitchen and intend to fire it at me? Yes. This is the circumstance, these missiles are present, and the missile reaches my children from the kitchen, according to Herzog.
“Humanity must determine whether to accommodate terrorism or combat it. We are waging war on terrorism,” he continued.
“Unfortunately, missiles are being fired from their residences at us, my children, and the entire nation of Israel. We must defend ourselves, and we have every right to do so,” he added. “And the time has come for the world to comprehend it. This is the tragedy of terror, and terror receives no clemency.”
