Title: Israeli Army: Return of Displaced Palestinians Possible When Safety is Established

The Israeli army reported today, Saturday, that it will consider allowing the return of displaced Palestinian civilians from northern Gaza "when it sees that there is no danger to them from fighting with Hamas," which it described as ongoing. In response to a question about the fate of hundreds of thousands of displaced individuals from northern Gaza, the Chief of Staff of the Israeli army, Lieutenant General Herzl Halevi, told reporters: "When we know that there is no danger to the population, we will be able to consider their return." Israel continued its bombardment of Gaza today as its bloody war in the Palestinian territory approaches its hundredth day.
