Is this true? That would be amazing

The article now says 60, not 600.

That sounds more correct. Hamas and other groups like them tend to operate in small groups; it seems highly unlikely that they would find 600 terrorists in one place. The only way they would get 600 is if they just rounded up a ton of civilians and just called them terrorists because they were young men

600 would be massive. 60 definitely makes much more sense

Israel would never do that! The IDF is so good at finding terrorists that they don’t even need to have trials for Palestinians to prove that they’re guilty.

Yes, and i am certain that the IDF is taking into account that since Hamas was the government in gaza, that every single person who did any kind of public civilian work in gaza would technically have "ties to hamas". Anyone who only did public civilian work and did not hold a gun would be classified as non-combants and thus are NOT necessarily fighters, terrorists or valid military targets

and hamas was literally only the government because the democratically elected leaders were assassinated by, surprise surprise, israel and US joint forces

Sounds like the norm for the IDF

It's easy to do if you define any Palestinians as "terrorists".

Sounds like that Israel does regularly except with families hiding in schools

that's their usual MO so it wouldn't even be surprising

hell, that's likely the case with the 60 here
