The Israel-Hamas Conflict: Evacuations, Myths, and Blame

Tens of thousands of people in Gaza have fled their homes and moved south following Israel's evacuation warning, according to estimates by the UN humanitarian office. Prior to the evacuation order, more than 400,000 Palestinians were already internally displaced. Israel's military has told about 1.1 million people in northern Gaza to evacuate to the south ahead of an expected ground invasion, while Hamas has urged people to stay put and defy the Israeli military order to evacuate homes. Protests in support of both sides have been reported in various countries, with increased security measures being implemented at synagogues and Jewish schools.
