NOT OVER: AS CEASEFIRE GOES INTO EFFECT, NETANYAHU SAYS GAZA CAMPAIGN NOT OVER AND ISRAEL IS PREPARING TO CONTINUE FIGHT AGAINST HAMAS
“Over the past two days, we have hit Hamas and Islamic Jihad with great force, attacking over 350 targets and terrorist leaders and activists, and destroying terrorist infrastructure,” Netanyahu said in a statement.“The campaign is not over and requires patience and judgment. We are preparing to continue,” the prime minister added. “The goal was and remains to ensure the peace and security of the residents of the south. I send condolences to the families and wish a speedy recovery for the wounded.”

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday commented on reports of an Egyptian-brokered ceasefire deal in Gaza, after two days of fighting in which four Israelis were killed, saying that Israel was readying for further confrontations with terrorist groups in the coastal enclave.
As we told you yesterday, it is no coincidence of any kind that the United States is sending over the USS Abraham Lincoln to the Middle East to deal with some vague, non-specific “Iranian threat’ at exactly the same time Hamas wants a ceasefire. Netanyahu has zero intentions of letting this one go after Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad rockets killed 4 Israelis over the weekend.
“Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand. The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.” Psalm 121:4,5,8 (KJV)
And why should he? The Israelis elected Netanyahu to keep them safe, and to do what needs to be done to protect their borders. That is the main job of any elected leader in any nation on the face of the earth. And with an ally like President Trump in the White House, providing the backup, there will never again be a better time to wipe out Hamas than right here and right now. Netanyahu is well aware of that, Trump is aware of that and guess what? Hamas, the PIJ and Iran are well aware of it also. Game on.
As ceasefire goes into effect, Netanyahu says Gaza campaign not over
FROM TIMES OF ISRAEL: “Over the past two days, we have hit Hamas and Islamic Jihad with great force, attacking over 350 targets and terrorist leaders and activists, and destroying terrorist infrastructure,” Netanyahu said in a statement.
“THE CAMPAIGN IS NOT OVER AND REQUIRES PATIENCE AND JUDGMENT. WE ARE PREPARING TO CONTINUE,” THE PRIME MINISTER ADDED. “THE GOAL WAS AND REMAINS TO ENSURE THE PEACE AND SECURITY OF THE RESIDENTS OF THE SOUTH. I SEND CONDOLENCES TO THE FAMILIES AND WISH A SPEEDY RECOVERY FOR THE WOUNDED.”
A spokesperson for Hamas similarly said, in response to the prime minister’s statement, that although the recent flareup in violence had come to an end, the wider conflict would continue.
“The resistance managed to deter the IDF,” said Sami Abu Zuhri, according to the Kan public broadcaster, referring to the Gaza terror groups. “Our message is that this round is over, but the conflict will not end until we regain our rights.”
