Ceasefire? What Ceasefire? IDF Hammers Tunnel Rats Popping Up in Gaza

If there's one thing we've learned from this endless Hamasshole charade, it's that ceasefires with terrorists are about as durable as a paper umbrella in a monsoon. Just days into what was supposed to be a hard-won pause in the fighting, the IDF is already swatting down jihadists crawling out of their Gaza burrows like it's just another Friday afternoon at the office. And who can blame them?

According to the military's statement Friday, troops spotted several terrorists slithering out of a tunnel shaft in Khan Yunis, southern Gaza's favorite scumcrumpet playground, and heading straight for the soldiers on watch. The IDF didn't hesitate: precision strikes turned those tunnel exits into one-way tickets to Goatville. Over in Rafah, another batch of these cowards emerged from their underground lairs and started blazing away at IDF positions. Again, no Israeli casualties reported, thank G_d. The troops, the IDF emphasized, are right where they're supposed to be, deployed strictly in line with the ceasefire terms.

This marks the first time the military's publicly confirmed taking out threats inside Gaza since the ink dried on that fragile deal. [And let's be real: "fragile" is putting it mildly.] Because nothing says "peace process" like boots on the ground in a war zone. Khan Yunis: Hamas's Favorite Ambush Alley: If this sounds depressingly familiar, that's because it is. Khan Yunis has been ground zero for Hamas's tunnel-tactic tantrums over the last few months, desperate bids to catch Israeli forces off-guard and maybe snag a hostage or two for their propaganda porn. 

Let's not forget that in mid-August over 15 terrorists tried storming an IDF post in a full-on raid. The soldiers shut it down cold, but not without three of their own taking hits. Close calls like that don't exactly scream "lessons learned" for the bad guys.

Flash back to early August, and you've got the 36th Division tangling with about 13 armed goons in the same hellhole. These clowns were packing Kalashnikovs and RPGs, gunning for an ambush-slash-kidnapping op. Spoiler: They got the ambush part wrong. The terrorists hightailed it back into their rat hole of a tunnel, tails between their stinky legs.

What's the takeaway here? 

That ceasefire might buy a few news cycles of breathing room, but it doesn't magically seal up Hamas's subterranean subway system or their religious obligation to kill Jews. 

Israel's got every right, and frankly, every obligation, to defend its people from these pop-up pests. If blinking first means more ambushes and more body bags, count the IDF out. They've got the receipts: tunnels don't negotiate, and neither should we. Stay vigilant guys, because this "peace" is hanging by a Hezbollah-supplied thread.
