No, there are still plenty of civilians left in Northern Gaza: As Israel dials back the intensity of its military campaign in the northern Gaza Strip, some residents say they are able to walk through war-ravaged neighborhoods more freely, and that the sounds of gun battles and explosions are becoming less frequent. Rami Jelde, 32, a resident of Gaza City, said that over the last four weeks he had not seen any Israeli soldiers while walking the streets of what was Gaza’s most populous city before the war. https://archive.ph/gUm29 NYT Seems quite a few don't want a return to Hamas rule either, they kinda feel that all this has been Hamas's fault. "Mohammed al-Khaldi, a father of two children displaced from Gaza City, told the BBC: "I lost my home, my shop and my source of income. I am no longer able to provide the simplest requirements of life for my children. "I hold the Israeli occupation responsible for the massive destruction, but I do not absolve Hamas of responsibility for everything that happened," he said." "A businessman called Mohammed agreed. "We have lived under unjust rule for more than 16 years. Hamas imposed heavy taxes on us and now they have dragged us into a devastating war in which we lost our property, money and homes," he told the BBC." https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-68034128

Israel and Hamas fight house-to-house battles across Gaza

What were the names of those 4 generals, only the IDF have no record of this. Its amazing how one person (Eisen) does not have all the answers to this and how you are so critical of her but then again, not so amazing I guess. The bonus is at least you have her name now eh.... -
Only five per cent of Palestinians support a two-state solution; three-quarters want Israel wiped off the map and 75 percent of Jewish Israelis think the country should ignore mounting pressure from the United States to wind down the war in Gaza. And another poll by Gallup recently showed that 65 percent oppose the establishment of an independent Palestinian state.

I like this................. Problem # 1: There are too many deaths in Gaza. Solution: Hamas surrenders, returns the hostages, and just like that, no more deaths. Problem # 2: There’s a humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Solution: Hamas surrenders, returns the hostages, and just like that, no more crisis. Problem # 3: Gaza is being destroyed. Solution: Hamas surrenders, returns the hostages, and just like that, no more destruction. Problem # 4: We need a ceasefire now! Solution: Hamas surrenders, returns the hostages, and just like that, a ceasefire. Picking up on a pattern? That’s right. Every single death is on Hamas and as soon as they surrender and return the hostages, that day, magically, that will be the end of the war. So instead of coming to Israel with complaints and problems, go to Hamas with the solution. The EU Parliament resolution gets it.

Who is this person? Not so difficult now was it? Wanna know a little more? Colonel (Ret.) Miri Eisin https://ict.org.il/ourteam/eisin-miri-col-ret/ I agree with her, but then she has stated fact. She does not believe Hamas. They did indeed break a previous hostage deal. Of course that does not mean Israel will not still try for another as it is right now. -
There was a touch of sarcasm you missed there. However he was not far wrong..............the concrete and resources needed for below ground was massive. "This is where Hamas held hostages. IDF soldiers operated in a tunnel located at the heart of a civilian area in Khan Yunis that was used to hold about 20 hostages at different times. The tunnel was about 830 meters long and about 20 meters deep. We cannot and will not rest knowing innocent civilians are being held in compounds like this one. We will not stop operating until we bring the hostages home."

Video below show the full horrors that the hostages faced in the tunnels. Imagine a child being locked in this hell hole. The IDF has located tunnels and cells where some of the hostages were kept in Khan Yunis. They also found drawings made by 5-year-old Emilia Aloni from when she was a hostage. Soldiers of the 98th Division operated in an underground tunnel in Khan Yunis where hostages were being held. The length of the tunnel was about 830 meters and it was about 20 meters deep.

Interesting to see what the bizarre demands are from Hamas terrorists for the release of hostages. The prime minister said that in exchange for releasing the hostages, “Hamas is demanding the end of the war, the exit of our forces from Gaza, releasing all the murderers and rapists of the Nukhba [forces] and leaving Hamas intact.” Netanyahu added that “if we agree to this, our soldiers will have fallen in vain. If we agree to this, we cannot guarantee security for our citizens. We cannot bring the evacuees home safely, and the next October 7 will be just a matter of time. I am not able to agree to such a fatal blow to Israeli security, and therefore I cannot agree to that.” https://www.timesofisrael.com/netanyahu-no-full-palestinian-state-no-surrender-in-exchange-for-gaza-hostages -

This is not categorizing where my opinions are, it is false personal insults I guess sharing the Amen Israel corner with right wing denialists has jaundiced your view of the NY Times. that just puts you deeper in the amen corner. -
