The devil engineered this war, at the very least using the kidnapping of three Israeli teenagers which was claimed by a splinter of ISIS. But the devil wanted a war so he blamed Hamas. As a result approaching 200 are now dead.
But Israel was losing the PR war.
200 dead, many of them women and children, large international protests, muted support from Obama, but rockets were still falling on Israeli cities, major ones that had not been struck before.
So a quickly arranged ceasefire was 'agreed', without consulting any representative from Gaza.
The IDF claim to have not attacked Gaza for 6 hours. Would you say that was long enough? Particularly if the other side were not involved in the negotiating the ceasefire terms? And thus the other side still believing they were at war?
Gaza is not a sovereign nation state. Gaza is under illegal occupation and blockade. Israel illegally withholds tax receipts. Under international law Israel, as the occupier, has several duties, but is not performing them. So Gaza has a right to retaliate. Israel has no right to complain.
Yet here is what the devil said today BEFORE deciding to ignore the ceasefire:
The prime minister was speaking earlier Tuesday, prior to his decision to order the IDF to resume strikes on terrorist positions in Gaza after at least 47 rockets were fired on Israel. He told Steinmeier that a Hamas rejection of the ceasefire would force Israel to "continue and intensify" its military operations, and that such an eventuality would be a legitimate act of self-defense on Israel's part.
"For this we expect full support from the responsible members of the international community," Netanyahu said, while thanking world leaders "who unequivocally condemned Hamas" for targeting Israeli civilians and "supported Israel's right to self-defense."

Full support?
The casualty count and duration so far are about the same as Operation Pillar of Defense.
But as I said a few days ago, I got a bad feeling on this one.
The devil now expects the 'full support from the responsible members of the international community'.
What does he plan to do now? Full scale invasion to take out Hamas, and perhaps other resistance groups, as demanded by that madman Lieberman?
