Some people, communicating via satellite phones, have described the attack as the “heaviest bombardment yet,” according to independent journalist Sharif Kouddous.

“People can’t call ambulances or civil defense. We are being bombed in an unprecedented manner,” said an unidentified journalist at a Gaza hospital, according to a translation by The Nation’s Palestinian correspondent, Mohammed El-Kurd. “The sky around us just lights up [with explosions], and no one knows what’s going on.”

Where is the evidence that they are not just randomly bombing? Knocking? Do they send a telegram?

[-] SCB@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago

They actually used the app Telegram, as well as flyers, localized broadcasts, and even direct phone calls.

Unfortunately Hamas is killing Palestinian civilians who head south, to scare them into remaining in the combat zone, because Hamas does not value human life at all

Yes, I'm sure telegram messages and phone calls are very effective days after they shut off electricity.

Did you not hear the message of the IDF guy calling people in Gaza, and the Gazans saying Hamas will kill him if he leaves?

This has been going on for 3 weeks already, they did do the "knocking" and warning for at least the first couple weeks. Phones have been working, on external batteries recharged from generators, up until this weekend.

They first launch a smaller rocket to "warn" residents to evacuate the premises before the big boy rockets lights up the place and called that "roof knocking". I'm not kidding, that was their actual policy before this.
