21:17: Israel has given Hamas a 24-hour ultimatum. The PA (Palestinian Authority) media reports that Egyptian officials have delivered a message to Hamas to stop firing rockets within 48 hours or Israel will respond forcibly.
It is somewhat bizarre to think Hamas has just been given an additional 48 hours to fire rockets into civilian population centers without fear of a military response.

Translation: Hamas, it is OK to launch rockets to wards Israel for the next 48 hrs.
Hamas should be told to stop immediately!!! Why place our brothers and sisters with another 48 hours of rocket fire!!! Shameful!!!
No “warning” is necessary. It is self understood that they are constantly under warning not to attack us. I am discouraged at our apparent weakness of heart to be clear that we have ZERO tolerance for ANY attacks. Thanks, YWN, for expressing it is bizarre to give any allowance for slowing down their attacks. Why would our leaders do this to us? For whom? They owe us an explanation for their bizarre policy. Voters, change this leadership to real Jewish oriented leadership.
? 24 or 48?
Israel government is stupid and weak
ANY LOSS OF LIFE OR PROPERTY IN THESE NEXT 48 HOURS IS WITH NATANYAHU AND HIS GOVERNMENT!!! HAMS HAS CREATED ENOUGH MAYHEM AND TRAUMA FOR THE RESIDENTS TILL NOW!! WHY WAIT!!! TIME TO ACT NOW AND COMPLETELY DESTROY THEM ONCE AND FOR ALL…
Waiting 48 hours is the correct approach. 1) Egypt (and others) should be given the opportunity to intervene diplomatically. 2) It takes time to prepare the logistics for a large military operation like this.
3) We need time to prepare too! Please volunteer for Hatzala or Shomrim if you are physically, mentally and emotionally capable of doing what they do. I pray that nothing will happen here, but our past experiences with Muslims in the U.S. has not always been pleasant.
Destroying Hamas will mean anarchy unless the IDF is planning to be the police in Gaza. Anarchy in an area that is next to Sinai is a very bad idea. It implies ISIS will be able to take over. If there were a simple solution, it would have been implemented years ago.
Now is the time for Achdus. Please do not join the rush to condemn the Israeli government. Please daven for them.
Tipshim! of course israel will respond. It just means this time period is more severe.
It is bizarre indeed. In fact, the very idea that they need to give a warning to stop or else is bizarre. They should have declared war and attacked after the very first rocket, and eradicated Hamas.
