A resident of the al-Shati refugee camp in northern Gaza was interviewed Monday by the Qatar-owned al-Arabi channel in Salah al-Din and told how she escaped - under the auspices of the IDF's humanitarian corridor - to southern Gaza.
"We walked, we were afraid, we raised our hands with our IDs, the IDF shot but not at us, we kept walking," she said, implying that there were attempts to harm the escapees and the IDF thwarted them.
She also said that she decided to flee the refugee camp due to the fear of being killed for the actions of Hamas. "There were announcements calling for evacuation and we wanted to leave."
At the beginning of the week, the IDF published footage of how, while the IDF was opening a humanitarian route for the movement of Gaza residents to the south, Hamas terrorists attacked the forces involved in opening it.
Hamas took advantage of the humanitarian window of opportunity that the IDF gave to the residents of Gaza. The organization's terrorists attacked the IDF forces trying to create the humanitarian route with antitank missiles and mortars. The attack was intended to prevent the creation of the humanitarian route and keep civilians in the northern region of the Gaza Strip.
