attack on Israeli Floor
First report from May 6th: Tel Aviv/Gaza – Hamas killed three Israeli soldiers in a rocket attack on a border crossing with the Gaza Strip. Eleven other members of the armed forces suffered injuries in Kerem Shalom in southern Israel, a military spokesman said on Sunday evening.
Hamas’s military wing claimed responsibility for the rocket attack. The target was Israeli troops, according to a statement from the Kassam Brigades. Ten rockets from the Gaza Strip were fired at the border crossing of the same name. Kerem Shalom is the main border crossing for the delivery of aid from Israel to the Gaza Strip. The army temporarily closed it to humanitarian transport after the rocket attack. According to its own statements, the military then bombed the place in the Gaza Strip near the Rafah border crossing with Egypt from which the attack had originated.
Federal Foreign Minister Baerbock said on Monday during her visit to the Pacific island state of Fiji: “The shelling of one of the most important access points for humanitarian aid shows once again that the Hamas terrorists do not care at all about the humanitarian care of the people in Gaza.” The Islamist organization is once again showing its truth Face. She was never concerned about the people in Gaza. “The terrorists don’t care at all about the fate of the people in Gaza.”
Indirect ceasefire negotiations between Hamas and Israel are stalling
Meanwhile, another round of indirect ceasefire negotiations between Hamas delegates and Egyptian and Qatari mediators ended in Cairo on Sunday without any tangible results. A proposal is on the table that envisages a multi-stage agreement between Israel and Hamas. This is intended to lead to the release of the Israeli hostages held by Hamas, the release of Palestinian prisoners from Israeli prisons and an end to the Gaza war.
Hamas emphasized in a statement that it was conducting the negotiations “in a positive spirit and responsibly.” However, the fronts have hardened. The Islamists insist on an agreement in which Israel commits from the outset to ending the war and completely withdrawing its troops from the Gaza Strip. However, Israel rejects such an obligation and would like to reserve further options for military action.
