Yeah that must be what that big ol' exclusion zone is about. You know, the one that extends a kilometer and a half into Gaza from all borders, which is basically a free-fire zone for the Israeli kids along the border? Also there's that whole naval blockade that fires on fishermen... And the regular bombing campaigns...

Israel is disengaged from Gaza, sure. Also the US never touched Laos.
