Israel Threatens To Label Gaza Civilians with Being ‘Accomplices of Terror’

Israel’s military has warned Gaza residents that they risk being identified as accomplices “in a terrorist organization” if they do not move south, Palestinians there said, reported Reuters. The message to Gaza residents was delivered from Saturday, Oct. 21 in leaflets dropped by air and marked with the Israeli military logo, and in automated phone messages sent to people across the enclave. “Whoever chooses not to leave north Gaza to the south of Wadi Gaza might be identified as an accomplice in a terrorist organization,” the leaflets threatened. Although Israel has previously warned Palestinians to move south, it had not previously told them they could be identified as “terrorist” sympathizers if they did not.
