Scores killed in overnight strikes as Hamas weighs Gaza truce proposal
Hamas started the war, so now they get to enjoy the results.
[GEO.TV] Scores were reported killed in overnight strikes across 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 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...
 Strip on Sunday, after Hamas
...always the voice of sweet reason...
 said it needed more time to consider a proposal that would halt its war with Israel in the besieged Paleostinian territory.

Gaza health ministry said early Sunday that at least 92 people had been killed overnight, including in what the group's media office said was an Israeli bombardment of a kindergarten in Rafah where displaced people were sheltering.

Concerns over a potential Israeli ground incursion into the southern border city have mounted in recent days, with hundreds of thousands of displaced seeking refuge from the fighting there in makeshift shelters and encampments.

Many made the journey from even harder-hit areas after being told the city was a safe zone, but strikes have continued there as well, with mourners gathering outside a local hospital Saturday to pray for the dead after another bombardment.

"The children were just sleeping and suddenly the bombardment happened. The bedroom fell on my children. God took one of my children and three escaped death," Ahmad Bassam al-Jamal told AFP, his voice breaking. "My child now is a martyr in heaven."

The city that had been home to 200,000 people now hosts more than half of Gaza's population, the United Nations
...a lucrative dumping ground for the relatives of dictators and party hacks...
 said.

A representative of the UN humanitarian agency OCHA has called Rafah "a pressure cooker of despair", expressing concern for what might happen next.

Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant warned on Thursday that the military — which began its ground invasion in the territory's north and has gradually advanced south — "will also reach Rafah".

Civilians who fled to the city have been pushed up against the border with Egypt, trying to avoid areas exposed to bombardment and fighting in nearby Khan Yunis.

"We are exhausted," said displaced Gazook Mahmud Abu al-Shaar, urging "a ceasefire so that we can return to our homes".
So did you cheer when Hamas brought back hostages from Israel, or or were you one of the tens of thousand of calls the IDF with information?
Keep up the good work.

#2 ^^ General Eisenhower said when US forces came upon the Dachau concentration camp, to get photos and to compile the data, saying at some point people will claim it never happened.

#8 Eisenhower was right and photos were required.

My Dad was there at the liberation of the camp. He told us that no one could talk about it afterwards. It was too horrific.

And that's all he ever told us about it.

#9 Ike was correct about a number of things. He's one of the reasons we've not had a military leader as president since. If you recall the fate of David Petraeus, you are on target.

#11 /\ Ditto! Badges and lapel pins do NOT make a soldier, or a leader. He seldom wore all he'd be awarded, and never wore any of them on civilian attire. Lincoln served a short time during the Blackhawk wars, but seldom made mention of it.

#13 Well it's just odd that we can go to jail for speaking about this and disagreeing with the official story as approved by the US government. America has robust free speech protections. Except *this* one issue.


And it must be asked: quo vadis? Who benefits?



We have to go to jail because it might disadvantage Jewish people. No, you're not alone noticing this. We have law after law after law that puts our interests last and foreign interests first. Why?

#15 gaza and west-bank have been thorns in israels feet since their inception. the logical eastern border of israel is the jordan river. the southern border of israel is egypt. I read where israel is about to import foreign workers to replace palestinians who were fired.

Of wanderers possibly slowest
Are Herbs. Who asks "Whither thou goest?"
Of those unenthused
About uppity Jews
Or, to tell the truth, even the lowest?

Or Hunter.
Or Biden family finances.
Or Border...
