A ynetnews.com opinion piece reads:
The claim "ethnic cleansing" also lacks a basis in reality. Those learned academicians base their claim on the removal of civilians in Gaza from the northern areas to the south of the Strip. That is not evidence of an ethnic cleansing, but rather an attempt by the IDF to limit civilian casualties. In their claims, there is no mention of the humanitarian corridors opened for the population to leave the impacted areas to the safety of the south, even as Hamas snipers were attempting to prevent their escape. The claim also ignores the aid trucks providing essentials into the Strip daily. Many of these trucks are robbed by members of Hamas who take their contents to be used by Hamas rather than the civilians for whom the aid was provided. The terrorists also sell the aid back to the Gaza civilians for exorbitant prices although they were meant to be distributed for free.
What do we know about the Hamas abuse of the Gazan population since October 7? How many Gazans have been executed for their collaboration with Israel, trying to flee from the IDF, or refusing to fight? What fraction of humanitarian supplies has been diverted by Hamas?
Here is a more specific report:
Video likely shows Gaza civilians shot by Hamas as they were trying to evacuate to safety
Some more recent claims of abuses (but all from Ynetnews, so independent confirmations would be useful):
- 'Honestly, I prefer the IDF': Palestinians in Gaza speak out on Hamas abuse
- Palestinian security official shot for calling Hamas 'Iranian proxy' (this one actually took place in the West Bank)
(I appreciate using multiple sources, so that the information could be verified.)
