A U.N. spokesman said such a movement would turn “what is already a tragedy into a calamitous situation.”

Israel’s military has informed the United Nations that the entire population of northern Gaza should relocate to the southern half of the territory within 24 hours, the U.N. spokesman, Stéphane Dujarric, said late on Thursday night, adding that such a movement — involving over one million people — would lead to “devastating humanitarian consequences.”

“The same order applied to all U.N. staff and those sheltered in U.N. facilities — including schools, health centers and clinics,” Mr. Dujarric said.

The U.N. was told that the marker dividing the north from south was Wadi Gaza, the statement said.

The U.N. Security Council is scheduled to hold an emergency meeting on Friday afternoon in a closed consultation format

    This just seems unlikely to me. But I do believe the Iranians funded and assisted with the planning of the attack.

    I get the feeling that Hamas was maybe even a little surprised by how successful the attack was. Which has brought about a reprisal even they didn’t see coming.

        Their regional rival Saudi Arabia is in talks with Israel to make an alliance with them and the u.s. in exchange for military aid. With recent events they now have to either

        1. Give up on the alliance and the military aid and getting all the latest in military tech.
        2. Continue forth with the alliance and make themselves look like a bootlicking puppet of the u.s. in front of the entire Arab world.
