The latter possibiliity makes sense because a CIA source that was recently in Cairo for negotiations says the US is not aware of an offer on the table for Hamas to agree to.

Evacuation begins…

Ground attack in East Rafah.

Ground attack in East Rafah.

Per unofficial Arab sources, both heavy bombing from the air and tanks on the ground. IDF is likely censoring Israeli media at this time. Davening for our soldiers.

“Targeted strikes”

Today, the commander of the IDF gathered his officers for a brief prayer before entering the operation on the city of Rafah, the last stronghold of Hamas in Gaza. All the soldiers stood together with excitement, listening to verses from the Torah and the special prayer.

At the conclusion of the prayer, they shouted together: "Let's break into Rafah, success to all of us!"

Tonight, the IDF operation began in Rafah. According to reports from the strip, there seems to be an intense firepower operation in the area. Targeted airstrikes, supported by artillery fire, cover the advancement of tanks on the outskirts of Rafah.

Sure, here it is in BBCode:

Hamas rats thought it would be cute to change the wording from “the release of 33 Hostages” to “The Bodies of 33 Hostages both Alive and Dead”.
Time to finish off those monsters already.

This makes me think,  do they even have 33 live hostage?  Pure animals

They know exactly what they have, they’re just playing around.

Why would this make you think they don't have 33 alive? It just says they don't want to release 33 alive if they can release bodies instead

The only ones to blame are the Israelis at this point. They've been putzing around threatening Rafah for three months, listening to senile jerk and his little kapo warn them not to do it - and then reward them by holding back on shipping weapons. Hamas had plenty of time to agree to a deal and didn't. If they agree now, it should not be without bombing the crud out of them.

Of course, the Israelis will do nothing of the sort and they'll pull back and hope that the world will FINALLY come around to realize how moral they are.

Fools, the entire lot.

Disgusting.

[Just A Jew]

Disgusting.

Taking personal feelings out of it, it's genius. If Hamas were a sports GM, they'd get the better of even Howie Roseman in a draft day trade. They have truly studied the game and know how to play it to perfection. If we can take just a few of the Nobel Prize winners and great inventors and have them focus on PR and politics, maybe Israel will win a round one day.

The #IslamoNazis released a propaganda video (which I won't post here) threatening that with no ceasefire Israel won't even get back bodies.

All this means is that launching an operation on Raffah is the absolute right move. Whenever they get really scared they turn to propaganda videos.

[YitzyS]

Indeed genius on the part of Hamas. But the newspapers are still complicit for swallowing it hook line and sinker.

Let me offer an alternative: "Israel launches strike on Rafah hours after rocket attack from Rafah kills 5 Israelis"
