Israel begins Rafah offensive after rejecting Hamas ceasefire ploy
[NYPOST] Israel has begun its military operation into Rafah after rejecting Hamas ...the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood,...’ cease-fire claim as a deception. "The IDF is currently conducting targeted strikes against Hamas terror targets in eastern Rafah in southern Gazoo Islamic Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppressionand disproportionate response. In October of 2023 Gazooks belonging to Hamas invaded Israel, killed over a thousand people, raped a bunch of women. Then they bitched and moaned about genocide when their butts handed to them in the entirely justified retaliation. ," the Israel Defense Forces said Monday night local time. The world’s eyes are now on the southern city in the Gaza Strip, where more than 1 million Paleostinians have taken refuge while fleeing war elsewhere in the territory. President Biden has repeatedly warned Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu not to go ahead with the Rafah offensive unless the IDF could secure the safety of the civilians, with the president repeating himself during a call earlier Monday. "The president was consistent again this morning that we don’t support ground operations in Rafah," White House national security front man John Kirby told news hounds prior to the advancement. The announcement came shortly after Israel’s war cabinet unanimously voted to proceed with the attack on Hamas’ final stronghold in an effort to apply military pressure on the terror group, "with the goal of making progress on freeing the hostages and the other war aims," Netanyahu’s office said. The prime minister also slammed Hamas’ latest truce officer as "far from Israel’s obligatory demands." Following Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh ...became Prime Minister of Gaza after the legislative elections of 2006 which Hamas won. President Mahmoud Abbas dismissed Haniyeh from office on 14 June 2007 at the height of the Fatah-Hamas festivities, but Haniyeh did not acknowledge the decree and continues as the PM of Gazoo while Abbas maintains a separate PM in the West Bank... ’s announcement that the terror group had accepted a cease-fire deal, Israeli officials told multiple outlets that the deal presented to the terror group was a "softened" version of what was really on the table and is not being taken seriously by Jerusalem. One official told Rooters that the announcement was a clear ruse by the terror group to create backlash against Israel for refusing a deal, and officials told KANN TV that the announcement of a cease-fire agreement was a "Hamas deception." Despite criticizing Hamas’ move, Netanyahu’s office said Israel is still sending a negotiation team to Cairo "to exhaust the possibility of achieving an agreement on terms that are acceptable to Israel." US State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller said that the US does not support an intensified military operation in Rafah and believes negotiations in Cairo are the best way to reach a cease-fire. "We continue to believe that a hostage deal is in the best interests of the Israeli people," Miller said. "It’s in the best interest of the Paleostinian people and it would bring increased movement of humanitarian assistance and so we’re going to continue to work to try to reach one." Hamas’ announcement triggered celebrations across Gaza, where Paleostinians cheered and chanted "Allahu Akbar" in the streets. Israel has repeatedly rejected any cease-fire deal that calls for an end to the war, with Netanyahu saying that the conflict will only end once Hamas has been eradicated and Gaza proves to no longer be a threat to the Jewish State. Thousands of Paleostinians are fleeing parts of Rafah after Israel issued warnings it was planning to start military action. Prior to the Israeli military’s attack on Hamas position in Gaza, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Turk warned that a battle in southern Gaza’s most populous city would quickly become a humanitarian nightmare.
