So they're airstriking the south after telling everybody in the north to head south.

Obviously. No civilians are in the North to strike anymore.

A UN-run school in central Gaza where 4,000 people are sheltering was hit during an Israeli air strike, killing at least six people

I'm sure the school must have contained some Hamas fighters. After all, the median age in Gaza is like 18 years.

Archbishop says Israel warned Gaza hospital three days in a row.

In a press conference, Anglican Archbishop in Jerusalem, Hosam Naoum, said the al-Ahli al-Arabi Baptist Hospital in Gaza was warned on Saturday, Sunday and Monday by the Israeli army to evacuate. It was then bombed on Tuesday.

Ziad Shehadah, a medical doctor and resident of Gaza, tells Al Jazeera from the Gaza Strip: “What’s happened is terrible because those people, all of them, are civilians. They fled their homes and reached a place that they believed was safe – a hospital, which according to international law, is a safe place. “People left their homes thinking they were more dangerous and they moved to our schools and hospitals to be safe. And in one minute, all of them have been killed at a hospital. “The death toll right now is more than 500, but we believe that number will reach more than 1,000. It is a massacre."

Would you care to share with us your perception of the situation from the ground? What are the prevailing feelings you’re seeing in Egypt re: the initial Al-Aqsa flood, the Israeli retaliation, Sisi’s handling of the border crossing?

Hananya Naftali proudly boasted that Israel bombed Gaza’s ah-Ahli hospital before deleting and two minutes later lying that Hamas did it. He works directly under Netanyahu.
