Liveblogging Israel-Gaza Active Conflict: Day 45
Thursday, August 20, the 45th day of Operation Protective Edge. Hamas breached a truce on Tuesday afternoon and fired some 200 rockets at Israel through Tuesday and Wednesday. The Cairo ceasefire talks are over for now. Hamas is vowing more attacks Thursday, after Israel tried to kill its military chief Mohammad Deif in an air strike that killed his wife and son. Netanyahu vowed Wednesday to hit back "seven times as hard" at Hamas attacks, and said all military options were open.
below that summary:
- More speculation on Deif's fate
- Hamas biggie in Turkey now takes credit for murder of 3 Yeshiva students back in July (for several weeks lefties have tried to use the 'Hamas didn't do it' narrative on this)

Hamas political leaders fair targets, says general

After Israel kills three senior Hamas military commanders, Gen. Yoav Mordechai, responsible for the government’s activities in the West Bank and Gaza, says on Sky News Arabic that “no one from Hamas’s leadership will enjoy immunity — not at the political level or the military level,” according to Ynet. “All of Hamas’s leadership is in the Shifa Hospital. ” There will be no negotiations under fire, he adds. “We have nothing against the people in Gaza. If only Gaza would become Singapore; but Mashaal and Haniyeh want to turn it into Somalia.”


So, is Israel saying Shifa Hospital will be hit soon? Interesting. What about the coward hiding in Qatar?
