At least 40 people in Israel have died and more than 700 were injured after rockets were fired from Gaza by Hamas militants, Israeli officials said Saturday.
The Palestinian Health Ministry said 160 were killed in Gaza and over 1,000 were injured Saturday in retaliatory attacks from Israel.
The Israeli Defense Forces have declared “a state of alert for war,” according to a statement issued by the IDF early Saturday morning.
“The IDF declares a state of alert for war. Over the past hour, the Hamas terrorist organization launched massive barrages of rockets from Gaza into Israel, and its terrorist operatives have infiltrated into Israel in a number of different locations in the south,” according to the IDF.
But how would this attack do anything to discourage Saudi Arabia from signing that treaty?
It wouldn’t. That’s the point. Having Hamas do that seems like a perfect excuse to throw palestine under the bus. Which they would do with the agreement, anyhow. Now they have a reason.
Ah, I see what you mean, but I don’t think I agree. There’s no relevant party that is opposed to this attack, opposed to the treaty, and important enough to justify the risk of getting caught.
