Hamas strikes convoy of Gazans fleeing south, killing 70

Anything Hamas does like this, it blames Israel, and the international establishment media eagerly acts as its propaganda arm.

“IDF claims Hamas struck a convoy of Gazans fleeing south Friday, killing 70,” Times of Israel, October 16, 2023:

IDF spokesperson Jonathan Conricus says a strike on a convoy of Gazans fleeing to the southern part of the Strip Friday appears to have been a false flag operation carried out by Hamas.

“When you apply logic and think who would benefit from those very horrible images of children and civilians that were evacuating south and then they are apparently clearly dead, who stands to gain from that, only one organization: Hamas,” Conricus says during a Q and A session on X.

At least 70 people, most of them children, were killed in the strike, which occurred on a route that Israel said should be used for fleeing Gazans. Another 200 were injured.

Conricus says he expects the army will release proof of its claim in the coming hours or days.
