Yet another ceasefire breach as Israeli regime claims victims were ‘terror police’
Israeli occupation forces have murdered three Palestinian police officers this morning in a drone missile strike, who were supervising the entry of aid trucks at the Rafah crossing between Egypt and Gaza today, in yet another breach of its ceasefire obligations. The names of the victims have not yet been released, but their bereaved families were filmed as they mourned over their bodies:
Israeli media have tried to whitewash the murders by describing the victims as ‘terror police’, for example the Times of Israel:
the drone strike killed three… terror group police officers east of the city of Rafah.
Regardless, the point of a ceasefire is not to fire upon anyone, even erstwhile enemy combatants, so there is no excuse for the murders. Israel has breached its ceasefire obligations more than daily, killing well over a hundred Palestinian civilians since the agreement came into force on 19 January, and continues to restrict the entry of food, fuel, tents, bulldozers for rubble clearance and other vital humanitarian aid.

Israel are trying really hard for Hamas to call it a day on this alleged ceasefire
Israel really is a nest of vipers.
It’s what Israel does, it murders and maims people. It’s what Israel will be remembered for, long, long time! If there is a God- and there can’t be- how proud do the Genocidal Israelis think he is of the Jewish nation?
