Israel is setting up 'complex network' of checkpoints to prevent 'military age' men from fleeing Rafah assault, senior western official tells MEE
Israel is setting up a complex system of checkpoints that will prevent men of “military age” from fleeing Rafah in preparation for its offensive on the southern Gaza border city, a senior western official familiar with Israel’s plans has told Middle East Eye on condition of anonymity.
The creation of gender-based checkpoints around Rafah would put a spotlight back on Israel’s practice of stripping and forcibly detaining male Palestinian men and children, as it faces rising scrutiny in the West of its conduct in the war.

Not that this wouldn't be a grotesque crime against humanity either way, but I'd be very interested to know what they consider "military age".
US "anti-terrorism" forces in the middle east set it as low as 14 and I wouldn't expect the IDF to be LESS monstrous than the US military..
One former Mossad official even said that all Gazan children older than 4 are "involved" and "Hamas supporters" and therefore deserve to be starved to death 🤬
That's so fucked up!
