The Times of Israel writes about this with reference to representatives of Washington and Jerusalem.
The US claims the IDF has less legitimacy to attack the Gaza Strip after civilians were told to evacuate there from the north, the newspaper’s sources said.
An Israeli official said IDF strikes were concentrated primarily in the northern Gaza Strip, where most of the Palestinian group Hamas’ strongholds are located. However, Israel reserves the right to target the terrorist group anywhere in Gaza following the Oct. 7 attack, the official said.
The Israeli side insists that the IDF has set aside a humanitarian zone for the Palestinians in southwest Gaza. However, a US official pointed out that the area had not been clearly designated by Israel and was too small to accommodate Gaza’s entire population of 2.3 million civilians, so the vast majority of local residents were still subject to air bombardment.
At the same time, Washington recognizes that Hamas operates from within and under the cover of the civilian population throughout Gaza. However, the US is concerned about the growing number of civilian casualties.
