How are they calling to warn anyone? The entire communications infrastructure is so compromised that ambulances are literally just driving towards the sound of explosions rather than being directed.
There's a lot of ways, I've seen leaflet drops, radio (windup fm radios are widely used), telephone calls (mobile) and drones with speakers being used but I'm sure they're also using other methods too
Well no you still need infrastructure for mobile. And there are no reports of drones with speakers. The IDF method was dropping a dud first and they aren't doing that anymore because the mission intensity is too high to sustain it.
Preferably with something smaller than a 2,000 lb bomb. And a flyers bearing a general warning to evacuate does not count when you won't let them through your lines. It's no different to the school bully holding their victim down and "warning" them they're going to get hit.
And even if the Internet is back now, how did they warn anyone in the same 48 hours they bombed even more than before?
And no. They aren't doing knocking. That's something they do in limited operations. Not now.
