Israel’s military has informed the United Nations that the entire population of northern Gaza should relocate to the southern half of the territory within 24 hours, the U.N. spokesman, Stéphane Dujarric, said late on Thursday night, adding that such a movement — involving over one million people — would lead to “devastating humanitarian consequences.”

“The same order applied to all U.N. staff and those sheltered in U.N. facilities — including schools, health centers and clinics,” Mr. Dujarric said.

The U.N. was told that the marker dividing the north from south was Wadi Gaza, the statement said.

The U.N. Security Council is scheduled to hold an emergency meeting on Friday afternoon in a closed consultation format

    Allowing rockets to be fired from your territory is an act of war.

          They… Don’t. There are resistance/terrorist organizations based out of the West bank; they just aren’t as famous as Hamas. And it doesn’t help that there are people who don’t want peace and will actively work to disturb it.

            They largely do. Almost every rocket attack has come from the Gaza Strip.

              I mean yes, your point? Tell you what I don’t need to hear it. You’re arguing in circles now and I have better things to do with my life.
