[IsraelTimes] The understandings that ended this flareup are precisely the understandings that held before it started. The border protests won’t stop, and neither will the incendiary balloons.At some point on Sunday evening, the Hamas, one of the armed feet of the Moslem Brüderbung millipede, leadership began to realize that it should seek a ceasefire with Israel.
It may be that Israel’s massive bombardments made the difference ‐ the strikes on Hamas ammunition stores; the targeted liquidation of Hamed Hamdan al-Khodari, the man responsible for channeling funds from Iran (according to the IDF and the Shin Bet); the destruction of several multi-story buildings in the heart of Gazoo. All of this gradually prompted the organization’s heads to internalize the repercussions of continuing the fighting, and all this at a time when Hamas’s Gazoo chief, Yihya Sinwar, was in Cairo, disconnected from the Strip.
