Wow that's a great idea! Dropping leaflets warning them to flee somewhere else! The borders are open and there's free transit, they can just take their car and go somewhere else, right?
I wonder why a leaflet "your house and all your possessions are going to be destroyed in 2 hours, move out" isn't working
*refugee camp tent. Their house was already bombed…
"We've tried nothing and we're all out of ideas"
Not everyone enjoys encyclopedic knowledge of The Simpsons.
So weird that they're not successful at something that they don't care about.

You've done really well maximizing them, though.
They didn't even try and this lie is a direct cover up. Collateral damage was the objective. Displace everyone to the south, then send them up north again and blow all of their infrastructure to smithereens in the mean time.
It's not even true to call it collateral damage. Israel is deliberately targeting civilians, it's mass murder.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
WASHINGTON, Nov 16 (Reuters) - Israel is doing all it can to get civilians out of harm's way as it battles Hamas in Gaza, including dropping leaflets warning them to flee, but its attempts to minimize casualties were "not successful", Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Thursday.
Netanyahu was asked by U.S. television's CBS News whether Israel's killing of thousands of Palestinians as it retaliates for the Oct. 7 attack by Gaza's ruling Hamas militants would fuel a new generation of hatred.
Netanyahu then said he wanted to draw a parallel with something related to Germany, but he was interrupted by the CBS interviewer, who asked him a question about Gaza's post-war security.
Gaza health authorities deemed reliable by the United Nations say at least 11,500 people have been confirmed killed in an Israeli bombardment and ground invasion - more than 4,700 of them children.
On Thursday, Israel's air force dropped leaflets in parts of south Gaza telling people to evacuate for their own safety.
Israel has also used leaflet drops in northern Gaza to warn civilians to move.
