Hamas has called on Palestinians to stay in their homes after Israel issued sweeping evacuation orders for almost half of Gaza’s more than 2.3 million people ahead of an expected ground offensive.
The Hamas authority for refugee affairs today told residents in the north of the territory to “remain steadfast in your homes and to stand firm in the face of this disgusting psychological war waged by the occupation”.

Whatever the case, they bombed it. They should have known the variability in where it would land and called off the operation when they saw the humanitarian corridor was in that zone.
Was anybody actually hurt?
Telling people to go to an area and then bombing a valid target next to it is scary, sure, but it’s not a deliberate attempt to kill civilians.
Did you read the article? I quote: “There were casualties.”
Sure, but you really shouldn’t tell people a zone is safe if there’s a decent probability an attack could spill over into it.
If the choice is between keeping civilians in a dense urban area that’s going to see a ground invasion soon or telling them to evacuate to a safer area that may still see some nearby bombings, the latter is certainly preferable.
Oh I completely agree. I’m just saying Israel should hold that area sacrosanct.
Justice for thee by not for me

Definitely. It was an inhuman, evil act.

I tried browsing his comment history because I had the same assessment, and honestly, it’s 50/50.
My best guess is that he’s just so fervently pro-Israel that if he ever comes across anything that doesn’t 100% confirm his own biases, he immediately turns away.
Dude, it’s already happening. Stop taking sides, Israel is conducting a genocide as we speak, and you’re here defending them.
