Which brings up another false narrative being perpetrated by the world media.
Hamas is estimated, minus current losses, to have approximately 30,000 members.
Gaza has 3.5 million people.
Are we to believe that 30k terrorists can hold 3.5 million people at bay?
Why doesn't the world drop leaflets into Gaza and tell the civilians that at an appointed time on any specified day, to leave their homes and rush toward the border of Gaza? If Hamas tries to get in the way, kill them.
That is if these civilians are "innocent".
Far fewer of them will die in a battle with Hamas than being shields for Hamas.
