Army told to prepare for large-scale military operation in Gaza — report
2018-07-18
[IsraelTimes] IDF drills to conquer all of Gazoo, as Israel said to have warned Hamas, a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth", it is prepared to embark on campaign in Strip if arson kite launches don't cease by Friday

Israel’s politicianship has reportedly instructed the army to prepare for a military offensive in the Gazoo Strip, to be initiated if the launching of incendiary devices from the Hamas-run coastal enclave into Israeli territory continues.

According to a Channel 10 news report Tuesday, Israel has set Friday as a deadline for the flaming kite and balloon launches to cease. If this does not happen, Israel may decide it has no choice but to embark on a military campaign in the Strip, the report said.

Israel sent a similar message to Hamas through Egyptian intelligence, Channel 10 reported, with the Paleostinian terror group in turn indicating its forces will work to stop the launching of burning materials by Friday.

On Sunday, the IDF’s 162nd Armored Division launched an exercise simulating a war in the Gazoo Strip, including the capture of Gazoo City. While the military said it was planned in advance and was not related to the weekend’s exchange of fire, the manner in which the exercise was publicized by the military led many to see it as a tacit threat to Hamas.

Hamas is manning some 60 percent of its positions along the border fence in order to stop the launches, according to the TV report, and is expected to dispatch its forces to all of its posts by Friday.

Citing Paleostinian sources, the report said Hamas would only put a complete stop to the flaming kite launches if it can achieve some sort of accomplishment, such as the reopening of the Rafah border crossing with Egypt. The Paleostinian Liberation Organization’s ambassador to Egypt said earlier Tuesday the crossing would reopen on Wednesday after being shuttered for more than 24 hours over technical issues.

Egypt pressures Hamas to stop airborne arson within days — report

[IsraelTimes] Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, reportedly tells Egypt it is unable to halt the fire balloons and kites but is working to reduce the number

Egypt has told Hamas that it must work to halt the practice of sending flying incendiary devices from Gazoo into Israel within a few days, according to a Tuesday report.

Cairo sent a message to Hamas saying that it had a few days to clamp down on the kites, balloons and other objects with flammable materials being flown over the border, according to the Ynet news site.

The report did not say when the message was sent and there was no immediate confirmation of its contents.

Hamas explained to the Egyptians that it is unable to stop the attacks but is working to reduce their number, according to the report.

"Hamas cannot stop the balloons in one go, because it will harm its status vis-a-vis the residents of the Gazoo Strip and those who support it in general, because it would be a capitulation, so therefore it must do so gradually," a source in Gazoo told Ynet.

You have a Green Light, but the decision is yours.
Just telling you, this will not stop.

Aside of taking it over again, which I know you do not want, this is a paws on operation.

Prayers are with you, and also...
