Please share this…all eyes on Rafah.
This is the harsh reality for families in Gaza.

This seemed to officially begin on Sunday, but they’ve now announced it to the goyim.
Biden said Rafah was a redline. Israel simply ignored him.
Israel has launched a major military offensive against Hamas forces in Rafah, Gaza’s southernmost city, seizing control of a key border crossing and cutting off most aid into the territory a day before indirect talks on a ceasefire deal are due to restart.
Images released by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) showed tanks flying large Israeli flags driving through the post and crushing a concrete sign reading “I Love Gaza”.
Israel’s defence minister, Yoav Gallant, said the offensive would continue until Hamas forces in Rafah “and the entire Gaza Strip” were “eliminated” or the militant Islamist organisation begins to release hostages. A government spokesperson described the first stage of a wider effort targeting Hamas.
“This is the beginning of our mission to take out the last four Hamas brigades in Rafah. You should be in no doubt about that whatsoever,” the spokesperson said.
The Israeli operation was launched hours after an announcement by Hamas leaders on Monday night that they would accept a recent proposal for a ceasefire deal put forward by Qatari and Egyptian mediators.
Any truce would be the first pause in fighting since a week-long ceasefire in November during which Hamas freed about half of the 250 Israeli and other national hostages seized in a surprise attack into Israel in October. During that exchange, Israel released 240 Palestinians from its jails.
It’s not clear whether or not Hamas has actually been removed from northern Gaza (we can’t really get very good information), but if this is true, then they are all in or around Rafah, and it will take many more months to root them out.
The Israelis are going to kill tens of thousands more innocent people, and it’s totally impossible that they can get their hostages back by force. It is possible, that on a long enough timeline, they can kill all Hamas, but it’s totally unclear what the purpose of that would be. After this war is over, assuming there are Palestinians left in Gaza, there is going to be an entire generation of boys signing up to take revenge on Israel.
Of course, that doesn’t have to make sense, because this whole Hamas thing was never the real purpose of this onslaught. What the Jews are actually doing is setting up a war between the US and Iran.
Rafah: a city of children.
Hundreds of thousands of them are sick, living with disabilities, malnourished or traumatized.
