Somewhere between 40k-50k civilians taking shelter with Hamas preventing them from fleeing, and Israeli forces who believe there are Hamas and tunnels underneath the hospitals.
There are already reports of Hamas shooting at Gazan civilians trying to flee the hospitals. I wouldn't put it past Hamas to just try to up the body count intentionally.
I believe that if Israel wanted to get rid of Hamas and rescue the hostages they would have done it with minimal casualties. They're using the Hamas are hiding amongst the people with western governments and media to make as an excuse. When they have very vocally stated their genocidal intent.
It's incredibly dubious when they bomb literally everything. Were Hamas hiding in small fishing boats, in an equestrian center, in an olive grove, in bakeries, in UN schools? They've displaced 1.6 million people and according to Euro-Med human rights organisation killed 14,000 people.
And what about the Occupied West Bank are Hamas hiding there too?
None of this is legal or morally justifiable. It's bunch of supremacist colonial settlers ethnically cleansing the land. An Israeli minister said today that Beirut is next. Bunch of racist fascists
"They" as in Isreal, no. "they" as in Kahanites, yes. Remember von Papen is currently Prime Minister, luckily they'll be running against a wall next elections no matter what.
