As reported by the BBC:

The Israel Defense Forces has just released a statement, confirming the strikes in southern Gaza. Here it is in full:

Earlier today, terrorists fired an anti-tank missile and gunfire toward IDF troops operating to dismantle terrorist infrastructure in the Rafah area, in southern Gaza, in accordance with the ceasefire agreement.

In response, the IDF has begun striking in the area to eliminate the threat and dismantle tunnel shafts and military structures used for terrorist activity.
These terrorist actions constitute a blatant violation of the ceasefire agreement, and the IDF will respond firmly.

Israel strikes southern Gaza, accusing Hamas of 'bold violation of ceasefire' - live updates

In response, Hamas said it was committed to the ceasefire and accused Israel of breaking it several times.

Looks like the IDF in Rafah, where the ceasefire allows them to be, disturbed a nest of Hamas in a tunnel they were going to blow.
Hamas popped up like rats from a drain, and fired an rpg at an engineering vehicle, killing two soldiers.
The IDF responded, blew 6km of tunnels, plus other infrastructure used by Hamas, and completed their mission, which would have been peaceful if it were not for the terrorists.

So once again. Hamas got their people back, and are continuing the terrorism.
What a predictable outcome.

Wow that’s some very rat focused imagery you’ve got in your post. Why do you do that? It makes you sound so awful to describe humans in that way. Aim high, don’t let yourself be fooled into thinking dehumanising is normal or necessary.

Israel broke the ceasefire. As it always does. Every single time.

Hamas did it by killing soldiers.
Please either read before you post, or accept you are a Hamas apologist.

So the Israelis have got their people back and are now continuing the genocide. What a predictable outcome.

Because the driver got out to record what is happening after Israelis pushed a buggy with a child in front of a truck. Was you hoping they would carry on driving?!

No the driver didn’t get out of the truck to record as it was already being filmed and you can’t see anyone get out of the truck, I couldn’t see a driver in the truck which is why I thought the camera angle was being deceptive and it hadn’t been moving but I can see now it was approaching as it moved further towards the arrow in the road,

So I stand corrected but at the very least the pram wasn’t moved in front until it stopped I suppose and the truck was obviously already moving slowly and aware as if it had to brake hard the convoy of trucks close behind it would have gone into it.

Stupid thing to do though.

Not comparable to the use of children as human shields in Gaza IMO.

@Martymcfly24 a new low for who? You do remember surely on Oct 7th that children’s cribs (with kids in them) were booby trapped to stop their rescue in one of the kibbutzm. After their parents were slaughtered.

The point I was trying to make with the poster was that the hyperbolic ‘Jewish mothers’ wasn’t true, there was a handful of people, the aid stopped momentarily and protesting is symbolic as it is here. Did Middle Eastern eye ask why they did that? Most are linked to the hostage forum.

I think that falls into the '40 babies' category of unverified claims, and was found not to be true. Or at least, zero evidence of it being true.

A new low for anyone who would block aid to a starving population by standing in front of trucks. It has happened many times before.

And I would presume the poster was referencing the group of women standing in the background.

It sounds like you think this was acceptable.

There’s not even anyone driving that truck and they weren’t moving.

How desperate!

The truck drives up to the man with the buggy??

How desperate to lie .

What do you think of the actions of that man with the buggy?

Endofthetunnel25 · 19/10/2025 22:26

You must be really naive to think that some members of the IDF aren’t committing atrocities in Gaza. There’s loss of evidence of it. Kids with bullets to the back, people shot deliberately in the same location as if it’s shooting practice. It’s a war, both sides hate eachother, there’s going to be evil on both sides.

SpaceRaccoon · 19/10/2025 22:15

Actually just laughing now at people claiming equivalence between Hamas and the IDF. And you just know that they secretly like Hamas more.
But it's always been obvious that Hamas would violate the ceasefire and Israel would get blamed anyway as people would just randomly claim they're lying.

And as for how many people Israel have killed in the last few days, that's going to pale into insignificance compared to the killing spree Hamas has just been on as their little ceasefire celebration.

Martymcfly24 · 19/10/2025 21:47

Unfortunately not a new occurrence . Trucks have been blocked from the beginning (and aid destroyed)but to put a baby in a buggy in front of it is a new low.

That was a man so not ‘Jewish mothers’
There is no more than 4/ 5 people there so hardly going to stop aid going through.
Also ‘ Middle East eye’ is hardly known for its neutral take on events.

The video speaks for itself. And why didn’t those women stop the man putting the poor baby in harms way? Why would you allow someone to use children as a human shield whilst you stand there holding a flag.

@Myfeededcan you show evidence of Jewish women pushing buggies in front of trucks please?

When did you ever see the IDF doing this?

WARNING - EXTREMELY DISTURBING FOOTAGE OF A MAN BEING BEATEN BEFORE EXECUTION IN PUBLIC - note the crowds including women and children watching -
https://x.com/EFischberger/status/1979749964780802507

Baffles me why anyone would try to conflate the two, but I guess they have to, to reconcile their minds on what their protests and marches have been about - and they weren’t about getting rid of Hamas, who started the war, were they?

Not surprised nobody wants to send ‘peace keeping’ forces in and stuff like this guarantees Hamas remain in power.

Do all the people outraged at Netanyahu collaborating and arming militias against Hamas still feel the same? I think Israel know the lay of the land in Gaza better than Western armchair ‘experts’.

What do you mean when you say that women and children are in the crowd? Is it a dog whistle to say that look women and children aren’t innocent don’t feel sad when they die!?

Women and children are blocking aid trucks entering Gaza. Jewish mothers are pushing their babies in buggies in front of trucks. Notice, women AND children stopping the trucks. Human shields.

Hmm can you see how that sounds?

Myfeeded · 19/10/2025 20:54

There was never a ceasefire Israel has killed over 90 Palestinians in the past few days.

I haven’t watched but I think this is a big problem for peace keeping forces. Who wants to go up against this?

I'm not on twitter I'm afraid so can't click on your link. Twitter is not a reputable source anyway.

Your response to my comment is too hyperbolic for me to take seriously.
