Israel tells Gazans to expect escalation

Context added by this archive

A state addressing a population directly, and what it tells them to expect is an escalation — a word with no object. Gazans is the noun, which makes them residents of a place rather than a people, and there is nothing in the sentence they can do with the warning.
