Gaza: UN says gunmen were filmed in abandoned Rafah aid warehouse
bbc.com

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) released drone footage that it said showed armed "terrorists roaming and shooting" next to marked UN vehicles at the facility in eastern Rafah on Saturday.

She stressed that UN staff had evacuated the compound prior to Saturday, leaving behind some vehicles and food aid. She said under no circumstances should anyone have or use weapons in a UN facility.

A review commissioned by the UN said Israel had not provided evidence to back up the claim, but it found that Unrwa should improve its neutrality, staff vetting and transparency.

Not trusting the numbers in that source is fair, but I've yet to see any other numbers who make their point different. Civilian/militant ratio in Gaza is low (relative to similar dense urban warzones), and I've yet to see anyone saying otherwise.

And when did I mention the IDF in Israel's border? I pointed out how right wing and bad the Israeli government is, and how the only legit (based on facts) critisizm I saw was directed at the Israeli government, not the army. How that have anything to do with the IDF's actions inside Israel is beyond me.

And again, I responded to the "maybe listen" comment and said I am listening and the only thing which was proven to be true is the food and water thing. Which again - has nothing to do with the army.

I'll also add that the "maybe listen" part about Hamas' war crimes works, since their crimes are heavily recorded and with solid proofs. Unlike the war crimes allegations of genocide, which are currently mainly based on words said, and not actions done in Gaza. Just read the south african allegations, and the Israeli response to those allegations. It's laughable.

In the previous comment and the same one here-

Oh wait, you don't consider the line between Israel and Gaza to be Israel's border, do you? You think Gaza is Israel's property.

I seriously don't see when I talked about IDF inside Israeli borders. The decision of not allowing water/food into Gaza has nothing to do with the IDF, or with the how the IDF acts in Israel. I'm really confused about what you're saying here about IDF inside of Israel.

And no, I definitely don't consider Gaza as a part of Israel. I don't think any sane person does. Stop trying to color me with right-wing fanatics. I'm just putting the blame where it's supposed to be. War crimes - Israel's government. Serious war crimes which escalated this whole conflict - Hamas. Meanwhile the IDF is (by what's been proven) seriously doing its best to avoid war crimes - and doing it not so badly, considering the ratio of civilians/militants dead.

Who do you think is not allowing the food and water into Gaza? Who have they sent to the Gaza border to stop the food and water from getting in?

This is utter nonsense. Many, many war crimes have been reported.
