New Delhi:
The war between Israel and Hamas has been going on for more than a fortnight and the danger for the Palestinians living in Gaza is increasing. Recently, Israel has used ‘Iron Sting’ mortar bombs in areas of the Gaza Strip, which are said to be quite accurate, and have asked Palestinians who have settled here to leave their homes, but the condition of the Palestinians is like ‘rats’. In the mouth of the serpent’. This is because people who are thinking of leaving their homes are not only haunted by the fear of Hamas, but also by the bitter and horrific memories of the 75-year-old ‘Nakba’. .

Israel claims that the people there fled not because of fear of the Jews but because of the attack by the Arab countries in 1948 because six Arab countries attacked Israel with the establishment of Israel which caused destruction. The situation got worse. , and apart from the Jews, the Palestinians were also killed, so to avoid being killed in the attack, the Palestinians fled the country instead of supporting their country in the war.
