No real surprise.

As long as the head to THE SNAKE stays attached it's always going to strike.

So much for Trump's engineered public relations peace settlement, all empty promises and yet more narcissistic rhetoric.

On a similar note it wouldn't surprise me if that coke sniffing toad in Ukraine gets a sh*tload of Tomahawks delivered next week, what with Trump's word being about as good as a paper umbrella.

Wouldn't surprise me at all.

A false flag or 2 wouldn't either.

Anyway...and talking of which, round 2 with Iran is soon to kick off, Damn that snake, have heard that Iranians are pretty nifty with a sword though.

Attacks were carried out in Rafah in response to alleged violations of the ceasefire.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) on Sunday said it carried out large-scale strikes against Hamas targets in Rafah in southern Gaza following alleged violations of the ceasefire reached earlier this month.

According to the IDF, militants on Sunday fired an anti-tank missile and gunfire toward troops operating to dismantle “terrorist infrastructure” in the area “in accordance with the ceasefire agreement.” Israeli troops responded with several airstrikes on what it called terror targets.

“The IDF has begun striking in the area to eliminate the threat and dismantle tunnel shafts and military structures used for terrorist activity,” the military said in a statement. It also claimed that several attacks by alleged Hamas militants took place on Friday and Saturday. “These terrorist actions constitute a blatant violation of the ceasefire agreement, and the IDF will respond firmly.”

According to a military source cited by The Times of Israel, more than 20 targets have been struck so far since the alleged attack in Rafah in the morning.

After being briefed on the situation, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu instructed the IDF “to take firm action against terror targets in the Gaza Strip,” according to a statement from his office.

Defense Minister Israel Katz warned that “Hamas will learn today the hard way that the IDF is determined to protect its soldiers and to prevent any harm to them.” According to a military source, more than 20 targets have been struck so far since the attack in Rafah this morning.

“Hamas will pay a heavy price for any shooting and violation of the ceasefire, and if the message is not understood, the intensity of the responses will increase,” Katz said in a statement carried by Israeli media.

Hamas’ military wing denied involvement in the Rafah incident. In a statement on social media, it said it lost ties with factions in the area last March.

We have no information about any incidents or clashes in Rafah, which is under [Israeli] occupation control,” it said. Separately, senior Hamas official Izzat al-Risheq said the group remains committed to the ceasefire, accusing the Israeli “occupation” of violating it and “seeking excuses for its crimes.”

Gaza’s Health Ministry said on Sunday that Israeli attacks had killed at least eight people in the last 24 hours.

Israel and Hamas reached a tentative ceasefire in early October as part of US President Donald Trump’s 20-point peace initiative. The first phase required Hamas to free all remaining Israeli hostages within 72 hours in return for Palestinian prisoners.

Earlier this week, the group released the final 20 surviving captives and handed over the remains of 12 others, but cited difficulties in recovering all bodies due to widespread destruction in Gaza and continued Israeli control of some areas. West Jerusalem, however, accused Hamas of failing to return the remains of 16 more hostages, while both sides are exchanging accusations of violating the truce.

It is totally irresponsible for any party involved in, observing, or commenting on the ceasefire process to act surprised by Israel’s immediate violation of the ceasefire agreement. That is what Israelis do every time.
Particularly nefarious on the negotiators’ part were the terms that Hamas agreed on for the transfer of dead hostages. The Israelis did not know where the bodies were; but they did know that Hamas did not know either. For some reason, the terms of the ceasefire did not allow Hamas to make sincere efforts, and did not require Israel to assist in those efforts.
At best, the negotiators were ignorant of the facts on the ground. They certainly should have known that israel would use every contrivance to break the ceasefire, while blaming Hamas’s noncompliance to justify it. Furthermore, the cunning and deceit, which used by Jacob to defalcate his father-in-law and to cheat his brother in Genesis, has been demonstrated by Israel since the the first days of the British mandate. There is no excuse for the negotiators to pretend that they were not aware that this would happen.

This morning, Ukraine hit Russia’s Novokuybyshevsk refinery in Samara, one of Rosneft’s key plants, processing 8.8M tons of crude annually, about 3% of Russia’s total refining capacity. Located ~1000km from Ukraine’s border, the site has been targeted before in previous strikes.

Israeli strikes on Gaza took place because the government is a dictatorship and it has indoctrinated its soldiers with psychotic homicidal ideologies including the readiness to massacre any individual or group of israelis along with Palestinian id it believes there is any risk that those israelis are Not in danger and are negotiating for peace.
Benjamin Netanyahu among others is a homicidal war criminal running two countries ( USA and proxy israel )
