Too early to say whether Israel is doing enough to protect civilians-US State Department
It’s too early to tell whether Israel is doing enough to protect civilians in Gaza, United States State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller said in a press briefing on Monday.
But he said the latest evacuation request was “much more targeted” as Israeli forces had “identified specific neighborhoods” where military operations would take place, “rather than telling an entire city or an entire region to vacate their homes”.
“That is an improvement on what’s happened before,” he said.
But, he said: “It’s not just intent that matters, it’s results. And we are watching very closely and will continue to watch very closely before we draw any definitive assessments.”
As Israel resumed striking Gaza last Friday after a week-long truce, the US urged it to do more to safeguard civilians and avoid mass displacements of Palestinians in the enclave.
The health ministry in Gaza, which is run by Hamas, said today that 15,899 Palestinians have been killed since Israel began its military campaign.
