A senior Hamas official told AFP on Sunday that a ceasefire in Gaza may be secured "within 24 to 48 hours" if Israel accepts the Palestinian group's demands in ongoing talks.

“If Israel agrees to Hamas demands, which include the return of displaced Palestinians to northern Gaza and increasing humanitarian aid, that would pave the way for a (truce) agreement within the next 24 to 48 hours,” said the official, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss the sensitive issue, as negotiations were set to resume in Cairo.

      They went after innocent Israeli civilians and was just as much a war crime as what Israel is doing in Gaza right now.

          Dude, who do you think their hostages are, IDF?

          They absolutely went after civilians. That doesn’t absolve Israeli forces from ALSO firing on the crowds, but the incident was caused by Hamas intentionally targeting the civilian population.

              Dude, they butchered and kidnapped the attendees of a music festival. That’s not righteous resistance. Are you insane?
