Amid the ongoing misinformation spread by pro-Palsetinian groups and Hamas that accuse Israel of deliberately targeting civilians in Operation Iron Swords in Gaza, a video shown on Arab social media has gone viral after it showed a Gazan woman debunking the Islamist terrorist regime's claims.

The video, which was posted on Tuesday, shows the Palestinian woman from the Shati area in the Gaza Strip next to a long line of residents moving towards the southern areas of the Gaza Strip after the IDF fired warning shots from drones, urging them to leave the area immediately to avoid harm.

The woman tells the camera that the gunfire heard in the air was not directed towards the fleeing civilians. She says, "We continued to walk, raised our hands with our identity cards in hand. They (the soldiers) fired, but not in our direction," she recounted.
"We came from the northern area; everyone left Shati and went south. We were at the Abu Assi School, and then we went in the direction of Burj Shifa until we left. They (the military) dropped leaflets, told us to leave, and we left."
Hamas continues its efforts to prevent the residents of the northern Gaza Strip from moving south because it wants to complicate Israel's efforts and to forcibly turn Gazans into human shields, hoping this would result in more casualties and international pressure on the Jewish state, a month after it launched the operation following the deadly terrorist attack on the Gaza border communities, in which more than 1300 were murdered and more than 200 were kidnapped.
