Oh! So the Hamas government does have control over this. If Hamas is considered a government, and they want to be recognized as a “State”, does not their firing of explosives into Israel constitute and ACT OF WAR?

Good news, but why gradually?

We shouldn’t do that, but let’s not be too quick to stop. ??

A cease fire from Muslims is only so they can regroup and re-arm.

“Good news, but why gradually?”

I suspect that Islamic terrorism is what we’d call “crowd-sourced.” Hamas isn’t a government that is controlling its various functions like, say, the President can order the Army to attack another country. It is more a crowd facilitator, both funding the terrorist acts of others and providing training and material support. Therefore, if they want to reduce attacks, they have to wait for the materials they have handed out to people they don’t directly control to be expended. Then, they don’t hand out more materials. Something must be driving this sudden change in policy. I suspect it’s something the Israelis have threatened to do if it doesn’t stop. Recent actions by the Netanyahu government have indicated that they are much more prone to use of force than in the past. Probably, Iran and other players have cautioned Hamas that if they don’t let things cool down, they will stop supporting Hamas. At the bottom of everything is money; who has it and who gets it.

That’s a logical theory.

I wonder if they simply put a hold on paying for the funerals of martyrs and paying the families. That might get the deathwish perps attention.

Palestinians losing American funding has consequences.

Anyone here who defended G.W. Bush on keeping this crap going want to try to tell his critics we were wrong again?

I won’t argue against what you posted but would add one other inducement. That is death.

You continue, you die.

They are not doing it out of a sudden discovery of humanity.

Iran just severely devalued their currency. Iran is running out of money to wage a proxy war against Israel.

The current upheaval was funded by Obama Inc.

I defended Dubya on Iraq. I washed my hands of him when he accused Donald of racism. Criticize away.

Bibi must have passed the word that if they keep up with the fire bombs that burn Israeli crops and farmland, and potentially kill or injure Israeli citizens, he is more than ready to show them what a REALLY big fire looks like.

Forecast calls for a 30% chance of rocket attacks this evening, tapering off to 10% by tomorrow morning.

will gradually reduce the number of rockets and incendiary devices

Do they not see how ridiculous that is? Just stop them all. Immediately. Or continue as they've always done because the world knows they will.

Incendiary kites and balloons can be stopped with the giant fans normally used to steal Iranian clouds and snow.
