Israel’s self-declared safe zones trap the Jewish state in the contradictions of its nine-month-long failed campaign to destroy Hamas.

It’s one and one is two that Hamas operatives seek cover in such zones.

Determined to target Hamas wherever and whenever, no matter the cost to Palestinian lives and infrastructure, renders Israel’s notion of safe zones meaningless each time it violates the zones' sanctity. The zones are a pillar of Israel’s claim that its military is among the world's most moral.

Saturday’s Israeli bombing of Al Mawasi, a one-kilometre wide, 14-kilometre long barren piece of land along the Mediterranean coast, proves the point. It aimed to kill Hamas military commander Mohammed Deif.
