Gaza, again, on the brink of war. He Israeli army has begun a “forceful” attack about Rafah in response to a previous Hamas attack against his troops in this same city in southern Gaza.
According to information provided by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and confirmed by local media such as the Haaretz and the EFE agency, Hamas started hostilities this Tuesday afternoon “with fire of sniper and of antitank artillery“.
The Hamas movement was immediately considered a violation of the , in a emergency government meeting by Benjamin Netanyahu. The Hebrew Prime Minister has given orders to carry out “strong attacks in the Gaza Strip”, according to a brief statement from his office, without giving further details.
The “response” has been immediate from the IDF, in the form of artillery fire and shelling aerial over the eastern area of Rafah. At the moment there is no information on potential victims.
What has arrived quickly is the response to the ‘answer’. Hamas has announced the postponement of the delivery of a new body of Israeli hostage, scheduled for this afternoon, for the “violations of the ceasefire” of which it accuses Tel Aviv. Both the delivery scheduled for today and previous returns of bodies have been surrounded by controversy, due to alleged deceptions of the terrorist group with the identities of the hostages.
The intersection of accusations and military movements this Tuesday represents a new point of clash for the weak peace that was already in suspense the past Sunday October 19. Then, Israel killed 45 people, according to the Gazan government still in the hands of Hamas, in a series of express bombings after the death of two Israeli soldiers, whose murders the Palestinian armed faction has not claimed. However, he managed to redirect the situation and return the ceasefire throughout the territory.
So, before and even today what has not stopped chaining itself is the mutual reproach of violations of the ceasefire agreement, the first and fundamental part of a peace that has not yet reached Gaza.
