Israel Dramatically Ends Ceasefire With Hamas In Overnight Airstrikes As It’s Learned That Their Ranks Have Swelled To Over 25,000 Terrorists

Operation Strength and Sword: IDF carries out massive overnight strikes on Hamas in Gaza Strip after it’s learned that the terror group’s size has increased heavily in recent months

We’ve been telling you for some time now that the ceasefire in Gaza was not going to hold, it cannot hold, and there are many reasons why that is. First and foremost, the Palestinians hate the Jews with an unquenchable passion, Ishmael was a “wild man” and so are all his descendants. Secondly, even if the Jews were to abandon the land of Israel today, and move some place else, the Palestinians would follow them and the wars would continue. That’s the memo.

“And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man’s hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.” Genesis 16:12 (KJB)

Last night, the IDF restarted airstrikes on Hamas in the Gaza Strip for two reasons, One, Hamas has somehow managed to resupply their terrorist army and it now sits at around 25,000 people. Second, Hamas is playing games with the release of the hostages to drag things out, which is how they were able to rearm so fast. Israel and America needs to settle in their minds that most of those hostages will never be released alive. Hamas, like the Nazis before them, are devoid of empathy, sympathy or compassion.

IDF ends ceasefire with Hamas in dramatic overnight airstrikes

FROM THE JERUSALEM POST: At around 2 a.m. on Tuesday morning, the IDF and the Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) started conducting dozens of extensive air strikes specifically on mid-level Hamas commanders and some senior Hamas political officials in Gaza. It was unclear if they were targeting senior Hamas commanders like Mohammed Sinwar, who might be holding Israeli hostages nearby.

Nearly eight hours after the IDF renewed the strikes, Hamas hasn’t managed to fire a single rocket into Israel.

At around 8 a.m. on Tuesday morning, IDF Arabic Spokesman Col. Avichay Adraee sent out a message to Gaza residents to move further into Gaza, away from the border with Israel, to avoid being attacked as part of the renewed hostilities. The red zone, defined as a combat zone by the IDF, wraps around all Gaza from north to south, seeming to cover between one-third to one-half of the Strip’s area, including Beit Hanun, Harvat, Hazza, and Abasan.

More specifically, the IDF said that civilians should move to the western parts of Gaza City in the north and of Khan Yunis in the south. No more specific instructions were given in central Gaza.

The IDF has to date avoided striking portions of central Gaza more carefully than other parts of Gaza. At different points in the war, there have been reports of hostages being held in some of the areas not being struck as hard. The air force attacks are designed to degrade Hamas’s renewed military capabilities after it was leaked that the terror group has returned to a force of 25,000 and Islamic Jihad returned to a force of 5,000, with both groups also rebuilding military defensive positions throughout Gaza.

The IDF will broaden the operation, including a returned land invasion as needed, but it is notable that no ground invasion has started yet. This opposes how sources were projecting a return to war under the newly more aggressive IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Eyal Zamir, at least until this past weekend.

In other words, the military is observing to see if Hamas will make its negotiating position regarding leaving Gaza and the hostages more flexible, though all signs in the early hours of the attack were that the Gazan terror group would hold its ground. Hamas reported that over 300 Gazans had already been killed, though there was no way to verify the numbers or distinguish between terrorists and civilians. READ MORE
