Hamas gets a proper Ramadan bombing and then some….
Israel has launched a wave of air strikes across the Gaza Strip in its heaviest assault since the ceasefire in January.
At least 342 Palestinians have been killed as Israel launched a massive assault on Gaza, shattering a fragile two-month-old ceasefire with Hamas.
The surprise attack shattered a period of relative calm during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan and raised the chances of a full return to fighting in a 17-month war that has caused widespread destruction across Gaza and killed more than 48,000 Palestinians.
This is from Al Jazeera, which delivers reliable Hamas propaganda.
Hamas “repeatedly refused to release our hostages and rejected all offers it received from the US presidential envoy, Steve Witkoff, and from the mediators”.
“Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz have instructed the IDF to take strong action against the Hamas terrorist organization in the Gaza Strip,” said a statement. “The IDF is, at this time, attacking targets of the Hamas terrorist organization throughout the Gaza Strip in order to achieve the objectives of the war as they have been determined by the political echelon including the release of all of our hostages, the living and the deceased.
