While the IDF continues to provide safe corridors for civilians fleeing from Khan Yunis, Hamas operatives try to hold them back, for they are the human shields Hamas relies on to discourage IDF attacks. Now Gazans are openly expressing their anger with Hamas, which wants to keep them imperiled, and also has been appropriating much of the humanitarian aid that has been trucked into the Strip. More on this public display of anger directed at Hamas can be found here: “Gazans call for overthrow of Hamas as they flee through IDF humanitarian corridor,” by Gadi Zaig, Jerusalem Post, January
The IDF has established a humanitarian corridor in recent days for Palestinian residents of western Khan Yunis to move from combat areas to the town of Al-Mawasi in southwestern Gaza, IDF Arabic spokesperson Avichay Adraee announced on Saturday.
Adraee said that Gazan residents would be safe in Al-Mawasi and that the corridor has been opened to evacuate civilians every day so that the IDF can focus on fighting the Hamas terrorist organization and deepening its incursion into Khan Yunis without the risk of civilians being injured in the process.
Tens of thousands of Gazans have already passed through this corridor safely, according to the spokesperson.
Adraee also quoted a number of Gazan civilians passing through the corridor, who informed IDF soldiers that Hamas was preventing them from leaving combat areas, using threats and violence. Additionally, IDF soldiers were also assisting civilians at the scene, including the elderly and sick.
The humanitarian corridor remains open until 4 p.m. for residents to cross over to Al-Mawasi.
“The people want to topple Hamas,” can be heard from the Palestinian civilians chanting.
COGAT official Major-General Rasan Aliyan said that “In recent days, we see more and more evidence of public criticism voiced by the residents of Gaza against the terrorist organization Hamas. The residents of the Gaza Strip rightly prefer their well-being and the safety of their children over the continued military strengthening of Hamas and the terrorist activities that harm them and their future.”
Palestinians were also seen evacuating from the Nasser Hospital in Khan Yunis on Friday, with COGAT stating that “Hamas operates from and around the Nasser and Al-Amal hospitals. The systematic use of hospitals across Gaza by Hamas has been documented, including Hamas shooting a rocket from within the hospital….
Hamas uses hospitals as places where it can hide both weapons and fighters, and from which its operatives can launch rocket, RPG, and machine-gun attacks on Israeli soldiers. It is critical that civilians remain in them, acting as human shields, and limiting the IDF’s freedom to search and destroy.
The IDF has established a safe corridor for Gazan civilians who wish at this point to leave the areas in and around the last two hospitals — Nasser and Al-Amal Hospitals — that are still functioning in Khan Yunis. The IDF is cooperating with medical staff in order that both hospitals can remain open and accessible to those needing treatment.
Gazans are finally daring to speak out against the real cause of their misery — Hamas. It is not only that Hamas tries to prevent civilians from fleeing to safety, in order that they remain as human shields – it even kills some Gazans in flight to discourage others from attempting to do the same. Equally enraging to Gazan civilians, Hamas also retains control of the humanitarian aid — food and medicine — that donors send for the people of Gaza. Hamas appropriates much of that aid for itself, and what its operatives don’t use for themselves is sold on the black market. Aid meant to be free is instead sold at high prices to desperate civilians, with Hamas pocketing the profits.
That is why the civilians fleeing Khan Yunis have been shouting “Down with Hamas”and “The people want to topple Hamas.” And, with help from the IDF, they will.
DC says
This story is a perfect example of why violence is NECESSARY for civilized people to be able to maintain their civilization.
Palestinians would never renounce Hamas if it were not for the fact that they are now seeing their own destruction due to their terroristic behavior.
“Fire and the Gun” is what I call my philosophy of gaining respect from animals.
Predatory animals fear both fire and the gun.
I say we give it to them.
commonsense says
Let’s not forget how many “innocent civilians” in Gaza gleefully participated in the mutilation of Israeli bodies once Israelis, both dead and alive, were brought inside the Strip, and that overwhelming numbers of Gazans confessed their support for Hamas and its annihilatory aims toward Israel shortly after October 7. In the wake of the Strip’s devastation and Hamas’s apparent indifference to the misery of the local population, entirely the fault of Hamas, support for Hamas may have diminished, but the Gazan’s shared wish to exterminate Israel and its Jews remains deep-seated and probably ineradicable. Hamas may have lost support from the average Gazan, but that support has been transferred to secondary groups who have the same annihilatory objectives, such as Islamic Jihad.or Lion’s Den. I weep not for those in Gaza.
Chaya says
Agree. Deradicalization like Denazification after WWII is the only possible moral response. I’m not saying it will work 100% or be easy but start by eliminating UNWRA schools that teach hate and murder to the little ones. I’d eliminate the UN and other such Jew-hate institutions. The problems of Islam, the religion itself, I leave to others. IMO Israeli Jews and others must resettle Gaza. It was Jewish land for centuries and should be open to Jews again. I wish Egypt would open its border so those Gazans who want to leave could do so. That would eradicate the world’s vicious trap for `Gazans to play a victim card and so smear Israel, perpetuating Nazi-like hate.
commonsense says
Deradicalization cannot occur without Islam itself being repudiated. Since this is unrealistic, alternatives have to be found to protect Israelis. Someone (I forget who) recently proposed that a buffer zone be created between the Gazan and Israeli border, constantly patrolled by the IDF…a no man’s land, in effect, wide enough to prevent any future invasions by murderous Gazans.
Rachelle says
This is already being prepared. Buildings within that zone are being bulldozed. The tragic loss of 21 soldiers in one day was as a result of an attack by Hamas on a building that was prepared for demolition.
Domenic Pepe says
Islamic wars are regarded as Allah-ordained wars that do not allow deals with Allah.
Such wars can only be
stopped by destroying the Islamic depraved psychopathic murderers.
The Western method of fighting such wars, based on stopping hostilities through negotiations and treaties,
does not work here. Belief in the Western “progressive” resolution of such conflicts is an illusion, just
wishful thinking. This illusion does not dissipate despite the chain reaction of violence against Israel in
the Middle East and its affiliates on other continents since October 7, 2023.

HAMAS GO AWAY HAMAS NOT WELCOME
Mo de Profit says
And the military industrial complex continues to benefit.
Here’s hoping that the Palestinians finally see that the islamic propaganda that has been pushed into them since birth.
Atikva says
Not to happen any time soon.
Chief Mac says
A vast majority still support the genocide of Jews, they just want different leaders to allow the war crimes to continue and sucker the West into paying for it
Rachelle says
I doubt that many Israelis are delusional enough to think that the Gazans suddenly love them. Let’s remember that these same Gazans voted for Hamas, and many of them participated in the october pogrom. You reap what you sow.
Jeffrey L. says
Even their cries against Hamas might be manipulated by….Hamas!! Deviousness and lies are constants among the evil ones.
Intrepid says
“While the IDF continues to provide safe corridors for civilians fleeing from Khan Yunis, Hamas operatives try to hold them back, for they are the human shields Hamas relies on to discourage IDF attacks.”
Without those human shields Hamas wouldn’t be able to lie about those “genocidal” Israelis that the Leftist idiots of the world keep falling for.
No quarter. No cease fire.
Sword of The Spirit says
“The People Want to Topple Hamas”. Sure they do…… Shoulda done something before your living room is a pile of rubble, huh?
Darryl says
Islam is the religion of those who submit. Power is their God therefore.
Hamas is losing its powers, and therefore its mandate over Muslims. Power is the sign of Allah..
The question remains, who will the Israelis cede their power to, once Hamas is extinguished?
After watching America cede victory to Iran after the Gulf Wars in the name of democracy, the West would do well to remember that love is not the answer.
Power is.
Americans could afford to be idiots in Iraq from 5000 miles away. But this is Israel’s back door. Who is placed in power after Hamas is destroyed is all that matters.
I look forward to seeing mobs of Gazans tear Hamas members apart limb by limb in the meantime.
And all the rapists deserve to die. That is what the power of the mob can deliver.
Let ‘em.
Ed Snider says
What’s stopping them?
World@70 says
Just saw on news, Biden has developed “The Biden Doctrine”, yet another two state solution that will fail. This guy has no clue what he’s doing.
Sword of The Spirit says
Well….. HE is not doing anything….. He is a marianette and the moo slims running his white house are making all the decisions for him….. He just drinks, sniffs hair, mumbles, and eats ice cream.
Jojo says
Barack Obama and Valarie Jarrett are running the show. If Obama were ended Joe’s lips would stop moving.
Angel Jacob says
What they say and what they do are two different, often opposite, things.
One must know islamic culture to understand them, lying is a way of life.
They say death to ham-ass so they won’t be targeted by Israelis. When ham-ass is around they’d say the opposite.
The only way to know for sure is to look at their actions. How many of them are actively fighting ham-ass?
One thing to never, ever do is to not trust them ever.
Dana says
Are they on the level, or is this just a ruse?
Have they finally seen enough death? Only time will tell.
I would not bet a sawbuck on their sincereity. Part of the Mulsim “religion” is to lie to their enemies.
Atikva says
Oh please, don’t let that fool you! They would as readily stab you in the back at the first opportunity should you happen to wear a Magen David, and they would be only too glad and too proud to reiterate their October 7 nefarious deed in Israel if they could.
Atikva says
“… with help from the IDF, they will.”
God, no! Why on earth should Israel get mixed up in any way with those Arabs’ pretending to be ‘Palestinians’ political quarrels? Terror has always been the Arab leaders’ style of ruling, they don’t need to be loved. And their subjects have always gone along with it, eventually. They made their bed, let them slip on it.
Paul says
ALL palestinians are despicable, corrupt and murderous terrorists. Do not believe a word they say and eliminate them all.
Jojo says
The Gaza people don’t want to topple Hamas. They just want to back a stronger horse who will more effectively kill the Jews for them. They truly are Hitler’s people.
