WhatsappBelow is a short summary of the last 24 hours of violence which sums up the 40,000 violent rioters on the Gaza border, some armed with knives, explosives, and grenades.
Up until now, Israel and the IDF have been playing with kids gloves, hardly using force to stop the massive amount of weekly, and even daily, violence. Finally the IDF was given permission to use violence and open fire to stop the masses of terrorists from storming the border and trying to harm Israel and Israelis.
First of all, there is no ceasefire yet. Supposedly Israel has come to an agreement with Hamas, coordinated by Egypt, but it has to be voted on tomorrow by the Israeli cabinet.
Late Friday after the meeting with the Egyptian delegation Hamas said the march on the border would continue as planned and that Israel’s reaction to massive violent protest would decide the fate of the ceasefire talks.
Friday night Gazan reports say over 650 IEDs were thrown at the border, residents of Israel heard non stop exploding through the night

Open Letter from Israeli Mayor to Hamas Leader
In an open letter to Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh published in Arabic on Facebook, Sderot Mayor Alon Davidi, whose town is close to Gaza, included two photos (left) – one showing Sderot’s new neighborhoods, while the second shows Haniyeh’s destroyed office, bombed by the IDF on Monday. He wrote, “Ismail Haniyeh – can you not see that you’re losing? You take all the money you get from the Arab world and instead of using it for food, a functioning economy and a future for Gaza’s residents, you waste it on your imaginary attempts to beat us.”
“Look at the results of your behavior….How does Gaza look in comparison to Sderot? You’ve been launching rockets at us for 18 years, but…every year, new homes are being built. We’re growing and growing stronger….You thought you’ll make Sderot into a ghost town – but we’re powerful!…It’s time to change course.” Ynet News
