I know you are now focusing on gaza. This attack, one of the Terrorist Groups that came in, it is an isil flag. This is an unprecedented event, not something regular. We are talking about gaza campaigns confesses something different. We went and took out last night one of the senior commanders, air defence commanders. We will slowly get to all of them. They are all now hiding underground, like they do, hiding behind their people and telling the people we notify to leave south midday are telling them to stay. A very cynical isil style enemy. H0 very cynical isil style enemy. No one is doubting the barbarity of the attacks we saw last weekend. In terms of what is happening on the ground, let me try to clarify the current position. There is a new six hour window for people to leave. Two roads, i gather, they are being instructed to actually use. Tell me what you are saying currently about the instruction for people to leave. We are issuing, we have said on twitter, we have an arab spokesperson. We are also using leaflets and other means to tilt to the community and ask them to leave on the two main road south, won the coastal road and won the road through the strip.

Stay and not to move. Is a fact he had extended the stay and not to move. Is a fact he had extended the deadline, the l stay and not to move. Is a fact he i had extended the deadline, the fact you are talking about two roads, is that an acknowledgement about what the un and many others said, instructing 1 million or more people to get out within 24 hours was simply impossible. It is an acknowledgement of that, is it . We have acknowledgement of that, is it . Have never stated the number, it came from the un. We understand it will take time.
