For second week, Gaza ‘March of Return’ border protests called off
|
[IsraelTimes] Israel-based analyst says decision apparently aimed at preventing fresh escalation of violence and out of fear crowds could turn against Hamas, one of the armed feet of the Moslem Brüderbund millipede, terror group.
The weekly "March of Return" protests along the 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 Hamaswith 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 ...
Strip border have been called off for the second week in a row, organizers said Tuesday, in a move seen as marking further attempts by Gaza’s Hamas rulers to avoid fresh confrontation with Israel.

Last Wednesday, in the wake of the 48-hour flare-up between Israel and the Paleostinian Islamic Jihad
...created after many members of the Egyptian Moslem Brotherhood decided the organization was becoming too moderate. Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat. They worked out of Gaza until they were exiled to Lebanon in 1987, where they clove tightly to Hezbollah. In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah...
, the protests were canceled for only the third time since they started in late March 2018.
The High National Commission for the March of Return and Breaking the Siege, which includes representatives of Gaza-based terror groups and political factions, said the protest was canceled this week to allow "the Paleostinian people to continue to provide assistance to family members of deaders and maimed persons and those whose homes were damaged in the Israeli aggression."
The fighting last week started after the Israel Defense Forces killed Baha Abu al-Ata, a top commander in the Islamic Jihad terror group.
During the escalation in tensions, the al-Quds Brigades, Islamic Jihad’s armed wing, fired some 450 rockets and mortars at Israel, which responded with many retaliatory strikes in Gaza.
The Hamas terror group’s Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, which unlike in previous rounds of fighting, was widely believed to have stayed on the sidelines.
Three Israelis were maimed by rocket fire during the fighting and dozens were maimed when they fell while running to bomb shelters.
Thirty-four Paleostinians in Gaza were killed in the confrontation and 109 were maimed, according to the Hamas-run Health Ministry. At least 19 of them were members of terror groups and several were civilians, including eight minors.
Last week, the High National Commission said it called off the demonstration "in light of the continuation of the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip."
Neri Zilber, an Israel-based journalist and a senior fellow at BICOM, a UK think tank, said it was not surprising that the committee charged with organizing the protests canceled Friday’s demonstration.
"Hamas did not want an escalation last week and they do not want an escalation this week either," he said in a phone call. "Islamic Jihad has publicly made it clear that no deaths on the border is part of what it understands the ceasefire to be. So Hamas is concerned about that."
Islamic Jihad chief Ziad al-Nakhala
.... born in Gaza in 1953, the longtime Paleostinian Islamic Jhad Number Two was called back from the organization’s base in Damascus in 2018 to take over the top spot until bossman Ramadan Shalah recovers from a coma...
told the pro-Hezbollah al-Mayadeen station last Wednesday that one of the terror group’s conditions for a ceasefire was Israel halting the use of fire against protesters in the border region.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, however, asserted on Sunday that Israel did not make any promises in exchange for the ceasefire.
Zilber also said that Hamas probably does not want large groups of people gathering in Gaza at the current moment due to fears they could start protesting against the terror group.
"Hamas authorities are likely concerned that if lots of people congregate near the border, they could direct their ire at them for not participating in the last round of fighting with Israel," he said.
Last Thursday, following the announcement of the ceasefire, dozens of Paleostinians in Gaza marched through at least two locations in the coastal enclave, calling on terror groups in the coastal enclave to continue firing rockets at Israel.
Since March 2018, Paleostinians in Gaza have participated in the protests along the frontier on most Fridays, demanding Israel lift its restrictions on the movement of people and goods into and out of the coastal enclave and calling for the return of Paleostinian refugees and their descendants to lands that are now a part of the Jewish state.
The protests have included frequent rioting with rocks, explosives and fire bombs hurled at IDF soldiers who respond with tear gas and live fire. At least 200 Paleostinians have been killed, according to the health ministry.
Israeli officials maintain that the restrictions on movement are in place to prevent Hamas and other terrorist groups from smuggling weapons into the Strip. They also say that the return of Paleostinian refugees and their descendants would destroy Israel’s Jewish character.
