IDF launches airstrikes in Gaza as Hamas violates ceasefire

The Gaza ceasefire went belly-up late Monday as the Air Force unleashed a storm of strikes across the Strip, hammering it hard and showing Hamas precisely what FAFO means.

 
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu didn’t mince words, saying he’d told the military to hit Hamas with "strong action" after the group dug in its heels, refusing to free hostages and thumbing its nose at every ceasefire pitch tossed their way. "Israel will, from now on, act against Hamas with increasing military strength," barked a statement from the PM’s office, sounding like a guy who’s done playing nice.

Over at the White House, they let slip that U.S. President Donald Trump got a heads-up before the boom started raining down.

The Prime Minister’s Office—PMO for short—doubled down, saying the call to strike came after Hamas wouldn’t budge on Israeli hostages and gave a big fat “no” to anything U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff tried to float.

 
Military brass spilled the beans: this wasn’t some spur-of-the-moment tantrum. The surprise attack came after two months of truce let them eyeball hundreds of fresh targets, with 20,000 Hamas and Islamic Jihad goons cozying up in new positions across Gaza. "In accordance with the political echelon, the IDF and ISA are currently conducting extensive strikes on terror targets belonging to the Hamas terrorist organization in the Gaza Strip," the IDF said in a statement, cool as you like.

Palestinian media’s screaming that at least 100 folks are either dead or bleeding out from the strikes, which tore through the Strip like a buzzsaw in under an hour. If Hamas didn't use civilians as human shields, the civilian count would be even lower than it already is, which is lower than any civilian-to-military death ratio in the global history of war.

A bigwig from Hamas fired back, pointing the finger at Israel for torching the ceasefire solo, leaving out the part about firing a rocket into the Jewish state.

"We call on the mediators to assign full responsibility on Netanyahu and Israel for violating the cease-fire agreement," Hamas spat, rallying the Arab League to back their fight and bust the "unjust siege" choking Gaza.

 They’re also hollering for the UN Security Council to scramble a meeting and strong-arm Israel into slamming the brakes on the war.

The ceasefire between Israel and Hamas is officially over, and we only have the Hamassholes to blame.
