Israeli forces pounded central Gaza anew, a day after killing 274 Palestinians during a hostage rescue raid
[PUBLISH.TWITTER] Based on previous analyses in the Rantburg archives, all Hamas numbers should be assumed to be imaginary but indicative, using the one, two, many method of counting. On the other hand, it would be ever so much more efficient if Hamas numbers were real.

Israeli forces pounded central Gazoo
...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 oppression and disproportionate response...
anew on Sunday, a day after killing 274 Paleostinians during a hostage rescue raid, and tanks advanced into further areas of Rafah in a bid to seal off part of the southern city, residents and Hamas
..a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth",...
media said.

Paleostinians remained in shock over Saturday’s corpse count, the worst over a 24-hour period of the Gaza war for months and including many women and kiddies, Paleostinian medics said.

In an update on Sunday, Gaza’s health ministry said 274 Paleostinians were killed - up from 210 it reported on Saturday - and 698 were maimed when Israeli special force commandos stormed into the densely populated al-Nuseirat camp to rescue four hostages held since October by Hamas bully boys.

Sixty-four of the dead were children and 57 were women, the Gaza government media office said.
Whatever the real number, those who really aren’t jihadis are what is known in the trade as human shields, putting their deaths on Hamas’ head.
Israel’s military said a special forces officer was killed in exchanges of fire with Death Eaters emerging from cover in residential blocks, and that it knew of "under 100" Paleostinians killed, though not how many of them were Death Eaters or civilians.

On Sunday, three Paleostinians were killed and several hurt in an Israeli Arclight airstrike
...KABOOM!...
on a house in al-Bureij in the central Gaza Strip, while tanks shelled parts of nearby al-Maghazi and al-Nuseirat. All are built-up, historic refugee camps.

The Israeli military said in a statement its forces were continuing operations east of al-Bureij and the city of Deir al-Balah in the center of the coastal enclave, killing several Paleostinian button men and destroying bully boy infrastructure.

Israel sent forces into Rafah in May in what it called a mission to wipe out Hamas’ last intact combat units after eight months of war in which Israeli forces have bombed much of the rest of Gaza to rubble while advancing against fierce resistance.

Israeli tank forces have since seized Gaza’s entire border strip with Egypt running through Rafah to the Mediterranean coast and invaded several districts of the city, prompting around one million displaced people who had been sheltering in Rafah to flee elsewhere.

ISRAELI TANKS ADVANCE FURTHER IN RAFAH
On Sunday, tanks advanced into two new districts in an apparent effort to complete the encirclement of the entire eastern side of Rafah, touching off festivities with dug-in Hamas-led gangs, according to residents trapped in their homes.

As of June 5, all but around 100,000 displaced people who took refuge in eastern Rafah after fleeing Israeli offensives further north in Gaza had left, according to the UN agency for Paleostinian refugees UNRWA.
And they screeched that it could not be done. Well done,O Gaza civilians!
"All UNRWA shelters in Rafah have been vacated. Many of the people who were based in Rafah have fled up the coast seeking safer locations in both Khan Younis and the middle area [of Gaza]," UNRWA said in a statement.

Paleostinian medics said an Israeli airstrike on a house in Tel al-Sultan in western Rafah killed two people.

The Israeli military said troops of its 162nd division were raiding some districts of Rafah where they had located "numerous additional terror tunnel shafts, mortars, and [other] weapons" belonging to Paleostinian bully boys.

Hamas says three hostages were killed, including a US citizen, in an Israeli military operation in Gaza
[PUBLISH.TWITTER]

Hamas
..not a terrorist organization, even though it kidnaps people, holds hostages, and tries to negotiate by executing them,...
’ armed al-Qassam Brigades said in a video posted on its Telegram channel on Sunday that three hostages were killed, including a US citizen, in an Israeli military operation on Saturday in which some hostages were freed.

The group did not release the names of those said to be killed, but the video showed what appeared to be three unidentifiable corpses using censor bars over their faces.

"Your captives will not be released unless our prisoners are freed," the video added.

A Hamas assertion on Saturday that some hostages were killed in the operation was dismissed shortly afterwards as a "blatant lie" by an Israeli military front man.

This is like a fleeing armed carjacker with baby in the backseat killing a pedestrian and then blaming the cops for chasing him.

I'd bet, IF any hostages did die. They died in captivity, Hamas killed them before rescue, or executed them when the rescue started.

Now for the cruel it sounds real life hard facts.

They Hostages would not have been there unless Hamas launched it genocidal terrorist attack on civilians (not military) and kidnapped, gang raped them and held them hostage for 7+ months, to begin with.

Israeli war cabinet minister Benny Gantz announces that his party is quitting the government
[PUBLISH.TWITTER]

A key member of Israel’s war cabinet quit Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government on Sunday, heaping domestic pressure on the Israeli leader as the war in Gazoo
...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.

rages.

Benny Gantz, a former Israeli general and defense minister, announced his resignation from the emergency body after failing to get a post-war plan for Gaza approved by Netanyahu, which he demanded in May.

His departure is not expected to bring down the government, a coalition including religious and ultra-nationalist parties, but it marks the first political blow to Netanyahu eight months into the Gaza war against Paleostinian Hamas
..always the voice of sweet reason...
bad boys.

"Netanyahu is preventing us from progressing to a real victory. That is why we are leaving the emergency government today with a heavy heart," Gantz said.

The Israeli premier responded within minutes, saying: "Benny, this is not the time to abandon the battle — this is the time to join forces."

On Saturday, hours after Israeli forces rescued four hostages from Gaza, Netanyahu had urged Gantz not to resign.

Gantz, who turned 65 on Sunday, has been seen as a favorite to form a coalition in the event that Netanyahu’s government is brought down and early elections are called.

His centrist National Union Party submitted a bill last week to dissolve the Knesset, Israel’s parliament, and hold early elections.

HOSTAGE ’PRIORITY’
The former army chief, one of Netanyahu’s main rivals before joining the war cabinet, had repeatedly called on Israel to reach a deal to secure the release of all hostages and to make it a "priority."

Since a week-long ceasefire in November, which saw the release of scores of hostages, Israel has failed to reach any further agreement and has kept on with its fierce military campaign in Gaza.

"Israel has not made it a priority, clearly, so that was kind of the first major break when Gantz indicated that he would leave," said political analyst Mairav Zonszein.

Though Netanyahu’s government is not under any threat of collapsing, Gantz’s leaving does make it lose the only "moderate element" that was in the overall coalition, she said.

"Netanyahu will be left just with the far right ministers, and it’s yet to be seen what role they will play."

One of them, National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir, immediately demanded to enter the war cabinet in place of Gantz.

Netanyahu is also under growing pressure from his far-right coalition allies, who have threatened to quit the government if he goes ahead with a hostage release deal outlined by US President Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. We get to suffer the consequences...
last month.

Ben Gvir and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich have insisted that the government should not enter into any deal and continue the war until the end goal of destroying Hamas has been achieved.

The coalition rules by a slim majority of 64 out of 120 seats in the Israeli parliament and depends on far-right votes.

#3  For those of us not dialed in to Israeli politics, what are the implications of this?

All good. Bibi still has a majority. And now Ben Gvir (he's crazy but we live in a crazy world) and Smotrich will have more influence.

And what does Gantz mean by "real victory"

Him becoming the PM - he has the support of Biden's admin.

#11  CBS reported at the top of their show last night that this was a major blow to Netanyahu's hold on power. Knowing how much the Dems hate Netanyahu and how much they want Ganz to take over as PM, I understood immediately why they would say that. They gave no reasons for the assertion and it was just before they started crying about all the Palestinian casualties in the hostage rescue. It was also just before I turned the TV off. The biggest lie they tell on CBS is when they call themselves journalists.
