Israel extended its particular ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, continuing their ground invasion of the tiny Palestinian enclave but somewhat limiting the number of air and artillery strikes against civilian areas for an additional 24 hours.
Hamas has rejected the unilateral extension, however, saying they did not agree to any such extensions of the pause, and saying that no ceasefire would be valid without a withdrawal of invasion forces and allowing civilians to return to their homes.
What, if anything, the rejection means remains unclear, but it will likely not be welcomed in Gaza, as even though the partial pause isn’t stopping the attacks on civilians, it is giving them a brief opportunity to look for food and water.
Ultimately, Hamas says they don’t want these brief pauses, but a settlement of the war that ends years of Israeli blockade. That is certainly an ideal goal, but in the interim it is primarily Gaza civilians, not Hamas, which are taking the brunt of the fighting.
Only enemy of Palestinian people and servant of the zionist murderers are critizing Hamas. Hamas is the elected representative of Palestinian and they have not issued such a stupid view. People of Palestine have issued a statement saying that they are 100% supportive of their leaders policy against the zionist mass murderers. Palestinians have every single right to defend themselves with Rockets. Only the enemy of Palestinians and zionists make such a stupid charge.
There was no real humanitarian cease fire. Israel made it clear that they would continue their work "destroying tunnels" during the pause. Gazans were warned no to return to their homes by the Israeli military.
It is the Gaza civilians who have been the target, for years, not Hamas. Hamas is the ruse to justify the cleansing.
