Israel is setting up a complex system of checkpoints that will prevent men of “military age” from fleeing Rafah in preparation for its offensive on the southern Gaza border city, a senior western official familiar with Israel’s plans has told Middle East Eye on condition of anonymity.
The creation of gender-based checkpoints around Rafah would put a spotlight back on Israel’s practice of stripping and forcibly detaining male Palestinian men and children, as it faces rising scrutiny in the West of its conduct in the war.

What do you think of that mass grave the Israelis put at a hospital and won’t let anyone investigate?
@Visstix
beware of info from the Middle East, I’ve seen a lot of fakes and disinformation (as much as by putinists about the war in Ukraine, or trumpists about their Führer … and his opponents).
Now let’s suppose there is a mass grave. Only one? In a reduced war zone, overpopulated? Man, if they didn’t want what a war means (hint: it’s always atrocious), WHY they did attack Israel, committed hundreds of assassinations, took hostages and killed some?! Did they really believe they could get free?
The reporters, women, children, and noncombatants, the thousands, didn’t do anything on October 7th.
Regardless of whatever pain and hurt you’re carrying, are innocent lives worth the cost to you? The Israelis attacked on October 7th were innocent civilians (they live under the rule of a terrorist, just as much as Gazans do with Hamas), do you believe they would want this bloodshed and violence?
“But Israel doesn’t.” You’re right. They slaughter thousands instead. To the tune of around 32k.
@Nutteman
who’s to blame, the attacker or the counter-attacker? Israel could wipe out the entire population of Gaza, as muslim countries wanted to exterminate all the Jews in re-born Israel in 1948 (still the official position for PLO, Hamas, Iran, etc.). Only some tens of thousands deads? In a small urbanised battlezone? I call that restraint!
Israel would never have attacked the Gaza strip. Hamas was stupid enough to launch a war it is losing miserably … still keeping hostages in captivity.
Going full clown mode today, eh?
At this point, Israel is statistically far more of a threat to those hostages than Hamas is.
See that’s the difference between us.
You think that would justify it and I don’t think that justifies killing 10,s of thousands of people that had nothing to do with it.
It is unjustifiable, the same as what hummus did
Oh well, who’s radicalized now?
Damn, I hope one day you realise how wrong it is to generalise people.
How would you feel if someone says that you are a scumbag just because your neighbour is a scumbag?
Now question yourself if you want to be that type of person.
