I imagine any Israeli medic would do the same with IDF soldiers.

Those are military medics and they're assisting a legitimate army. This is a civlllian assisting a terror organization. If he dies he'll be counted as a civillian death.

A 4-hour pause "in areas of northern Gaza", I'm not sure how much more this is than what they've been doing for nearly a week now with the corridor to the south.

I don't think the army can rest during a (unilateral?) pause

Correct. I am sure they are not attacking the terrorist 24/7. So why not let call it a pause since they are not attacking anyway?

Israel has been warning civilians to move to southern Gaza as it attacks targets in the north, a task that has proven difficult – if not impossible – for many Palestinians in the enclave. Civilians have not been able to leave Gaza in large numbers since the war began; groups of foreign nationals and some injured Palestinians were allowed out of the enclave recently.


According to the IDF spokesman, there are less than 100k people left. That certainly seems like it was indeed possible for about 1 million civilians to leave. I'd say that qualifies as "in large numbers"

Probably safe to assume at this point that anyone left there is there because they want to be there.

Interesting development, Israel denies WH announcement and says they agreed to no such thing and there have been no changes in their plans or policies. Either the WH had a major miscommunication, or is attempting to publicly bully Israel into daily pauses that they've been resisting. Not a good look either way...

The silence of the Red Cross on the hostage issue is unacceptable.
