2. Are you sure about "people in wheelchairs"?

There is only one man who may be sitting in a wheelchair. Do wheelchairs prevent terrorists from surrendering? Do they usually strip to their underwear before surrendering? And surely you can see people waling with their hands up, a universal gesture of surrender, no? I guess, since there are no IDF in sight from this particular camera angle, they are just practicing their surrender, right?

And when was the last time you heard of a terrorist in Gaza wearing a uniform or any other insignia identifying them as not civilians, as mandated by the Geneva Conventions? The last time I saw this happen was when Yassir Arafat addressed the UN wearing some semblance of a military uniform.

They would be the smart ones. The lucky ones would be the civilians in Jabalia who just saw them depart from the camp and surrender. Things are looking up for the civilians being freed of the presence of the terrorists in their midst.
