5 minutes ago a mega rocket attack on Israel
Now another mega attack direction Dimona, and continuing, BIBI has to stop this NOW !
Due to the continued rocket fire from the Gaza Strip, the IDF targeted three senior Hamas military wing officials and the absence of a cease-fire agreement on the horizon, Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas and Head of the Hamas Political Bureau, Khaled Mashal are meeting today in Qatar. The goal: Mahmoud Abbas is attempting to stop the fire between the two sides.
This afternoon their first meeting between the two ended when the Emir of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim Ben Hamad Aal Thani, met with Abbas and then after were joined by Mashal and his entourage. Abbas tried to get Mashal to understand that he must first arrive at an agreement in Cairo. Mashal on the other hand, told Abbas that Hamas is prepared for a long war of attrition, which could last years.
However, Abbas is expected to discuss with Mashal’s future government of national reconciliation. Among the issues to be discussed: whether elections will be held, and if so – when, and how the PLO will be integrated and what will be the political leadership role of Hamas in the West Bank. Now, the chairman of the Palestinian Authority must recruit Qatar in orer to convince Mashaal that Hamas must arrive at a cease-fire agreement.

What’s interesting about Israel’s recent success in eliminating the Hamas military leaders, is the presumed new source(s) of Intel to accomplish it.
I am only guessing it’s new. So who benefits from their elimination, aside from Israel? Abbas and the PA as retribution for the overthrow plot and for all the other obvious reasons of taking back control. Mashal and other political Hamas leaders (both inside and outside Gaza) also now have more power over Hamas. Egypt for obvious reasons. Don’t forget Islamic Jihad, and their Iranian backers.
That’s a lot, but many obvious ones. Who else?

Hamas may be short on rocket supply, but the only way to stop the onslaught for good is to take all of Gaza.
That will take time, even if Bibi changes course and gives the order immediately.
