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.

that’s what would make it OK to slaughter them all like Hamas has slaughtered hundreds on October 7th. But Israel doesn’t, which could please to you if you were not a blind follower of professional agitators who care much less than you about the Gaza people.
