An IDF spokesman has said in a social media post in Arabic that a road will be opened to allow people to move from north

7. The BBC was reporting today that

their reporters are seeing people moving back north because of the bombing in the south. A UN official was quoted as saying there is no safe place in Gaza. It might be a bit of hyperbole because the bombs just haven't gotten to some spots yet. Gaza is not that big to begin with. It is only about 25 miles long and it varies between about 3.7 miles and 7.5 miles wide. The IDF already acknowledged a couple of weeks ago that a massive number of bombs have been dropped already. It would seem from the BBC reporting that people aren't trusting any assurances from the IDF. Least of all would I believe that the bombing/attack would stop if the hostages were all released. That idea of Israel stopping makes no sense because the IDF has already stated the policy is to eliminate Hamas completely from Gaza.
