Israeli Defense Minister Katz: "Those who remain in Gaza City will be terrorists and terror supporters."
In other words, Israel declares its intention to exterminate everyone in Gaza City who could not move south.
That is what calling everyone 'terrorists and terror supporters' means.

Israeli soldiers were filmed detaining two Palestinian children in Hebron, in the occupied West Bank, while demanding to know their father’s whereabouts.
When a passerby intervened and urged their release because of their young age, a soldier replied, “I don’t care”.
