Hamas Ends ‘Ceasefire’ with Israel
Arutz Sheva ^ | 20/8/11 | Elad Benari

Posted on 08/20/2011 10:52:08 AM PDT by Eleutheria5

Hamas’ military wing, the Al-Qassam Brigades, called off a ceasefire with Israel late Friday, Hamas’ Al-Aqsa radio reported.

According to the report, which was quoted by the Bethlehem-based Ma’an news agency, Hamas will allow terror factions in Gaza to respond to Israeli attacks in the Strip. Those ‘attacks’ come in response to provocations by the same terror groups in Gaza, such as Thursday’s multiple attacks near Eilat or the barrage of rockets which were fired at Israel from Gaza on Friday.

A representative of the militant group was quoted as having said, “There can be no truce with the Israeli occupation while it commits massacres against the Palestinian people without justification.”

The representative added that Al-Qassam “calls on all factions to respond to the Israeli occupation’s crimes.”

The ‘ceasefire’ was declared by Hamas following the IDF’s Operation Cast Lead in Gaza in 2009, but has been broken many times when terror groups fired rockets and missiles towards Israel’s southern communities.

The “cease fire” was a rhetorical farce.

One can only hope Israel drops the eradicating hammer on Hamas and Hezbollah once and for all.

Feint to the North. By sea to the West, by land to the East. Join hands in the South and you’re doing the six hour Ghaza war.

Hamas Ends ‘Ceasefire’ with Israel

Until they get their worthless a$$es handed to them again by the IDF, then they’ll be calling for another “time out”.

To Hamas, “ceasefire” means the Israelis cease, while Hamas fires.

Add an attack component to iron dome. Every time it fires a defensive missile, an offense missile comes back with it.

That we can’t allow. This time, we have to completely eliminate Hamas, do it fast, and give them no chance to call for truce, withdraw, call in the media or even hide behind civilians. The six hour Ghaza war would mean that. Supplies cut off from the tunnels and crossings in the South, guns all pointing the wrong way and civilians shielding the wrong front because of the feint. Think Little Round Top’s swinging gate on two flanks.
