Israel’s op to finish Hamas in Rafah could be stopped if terror group kill hostages, expert warns

so it’s going to be intense fighting in ROK this is not going to be small skirmishes this will look like a war it will feel like a war it will very likely Engage The Air power of the Israeli Air Force it certainly will Engage The Power fire power of the Israeli artillery and of course the Israeli infantry and the Israeli Special Forces but it comes with a series of difficult dilemmas that may start to play out in real time depending on how close to the Kamas leadership the IDF is able to camp for example will Hamas leadership will the leadership of Hamas seek to stop that offensive by the IDF perhaps by executing hostages it’s not something that people want to think about out loud but it’s something that absolutely has to be considered and how will the Israel Defense Forces and the Israeli government respond if that does turn out to be the case we’ve recently seen the release of surviving hostages inside the Gaza Strip on video we’ve seen them released by Hamas for their propaganda aims those have been very jarring to the Israeli home front although I can tell you the overarching result of those videos has been not to deter Israel from moving forward inside the Gaza Strip but rather to encourage the Israeli people behind the idea that our hostages are still alive and therefore must be rescued and released from the clutches of Hamas so one of the reasons that you’re seeing this feverish effort for a deal to be done other than the obvious is that this major operation by the Israel Defense Forces is going to be in the area of Raa which is the city that is adjacent to the rapak crossing the rapak Crossing of course abats the Sinai Peninsula which is Sovereign Egyptian territory Egypt has a very very deep concern behind the idea that the gazan population will be moved from the area of Rafa into the Sinai Peninsula which is something that the Egyptians want to avoid and as a consequence of that they are now leveraging as much pressure as they’re able to on Hamas in order to see the hostages released now the stages of the hostage release are quite complex and very complicated Israel in a previous round was seeking to have 40 hostages released it’s now reduced that number to 33 Hamas wants to see aerial surveillance stopped by the Israelis for eight hours per day 10 hours per day on days when hostages are released But ultimately what I think people need to realize and understand is that sinoa wants one thing above all he wants to see an end to the war he will take such an outcome as a victory he will propagandize it as a victory falsely so and he will Express by way of that that jihadism has survived it can survive any Onslaught by any enemy certainly any Western enemy certainly the Zionist enemy as he would term it and without him receiving assurances that a release of the hostages will result in an end of hostilities it’s unlikely that we’re going to see them released by way of a deal much more likely there will have to be some sort of military resolution to this crisis what that resolution will look like precisely is is unknown obviously e e e for for e

ISRAELI Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed to invade refugee-filled Rafah “with or without” a ceasefire deal.

Tanks and troops are said to be lined up at the Gaza border, waiting for a green light to storm the already-battered city.

Co-founder and CEO of The Miryam Institute, Benjamin Anthony, says that the IDF’s Rafah operation is imminent but Hamas terrorists could resort to beheading of hostages to halt Israeli forces.

  4. Hammas are shameless! Shooting from people's houses, hospitals and Churches!
    Then they cry when the Israeli forces fire back!
    Hammas hides underneath behind and amongst the Palestinian people.
    They count their dead amongst the Palestinian casualties!
    I have no sympathy for Hammas and those who stay around them.

  5. Dhimmi status under Islam is the real apartheid. Muslims have been killing Jews since

    before the battle of Khaybar in 628 AD all because Jews knew better than to embrace

    Islam's false, self-proclaimed, and only "Prophet". Since then, Muslims have declared

    Jews their mortal enemy. Islam has been spread by the sword since it started. From

    Spain to Indonesia, Muslims have slaughtered millions.

    But, in Israel, Jews, Arabs, Christians, Bedouins, Druze, and others can live together

    peacefully. Why is that? Because they are not stuck in the 7th century. Israel has

    2,037,000+ Arab citizens – all with full rights & privileges. Some are in the IDF,

    the Knesset and on their Supreme Court. It's the Palestinians that can't get along

    with anyone. Kicked out of Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria. That should tell you

    something! So, who are the murderers, the ones carrying out genocide, and the colonist?

  7. Hostages are already dead this is delusional. Israel know the hostages were killed already, they will not bet deterred. Rafah will fall by March next year.

  15. The USA and the west was able to beat Al qaeda and isis before. Now that israel is also fighting terror the USA is reluctant to support. Hamas could. Have bean beaten black and blue if the USA is in full support for Israel.

  23. There has been no “Proof Of Life”of the hostages who are likely dead at the hands of terrorists or collateral damage because the terrorists kidnapped them from their country to use as human shields. That is why they are stalling.

  24. What a stupid, insane, and ignorant headline. The so-called “expert” is drinking the terrorist Kool Aid or smoking drugs in his hookah.

  25. Continued prayers for all Jewish people in the world the IDF the hostages and their families we stand with Israel bring them home🙏🌼🤝

  26. This joker who runs Hamas has a career in the movies after the dust settles. He would be a perfect Herman Munster in a remake of the TV hit 'The Munsters'.

  27. Unavoidably, there will be terrible, extremely ugly collateral damage on both sides. Israel cannot and must not be blamed. This conflict was imposed on the Israelies.

  28. Hamas can't conceive of anything but hate, violence, and murder. Gaza was entirely ceded to the "Palestinians" in a generous gesture to promote Palestinians' self-rule and peace, perhaps as a starting trial stage before step towards larger peaceful coexistence. From day one, Hamas has used Gaza for building a violence and war base. Why does anyone think that Hamas can be counted on for, again, anything besides hate, violence, and murder. One cannot expect pears from an Elm tree!!!

  41. Lihat lah kesombongan laknatullah Bibi dan konco2nya. Mereka kata boleh dapat kembali tahanan dalam masa seminggu… Dah hampir setengah tahun la… Hamas masih gah! berdiri . Harap teknologi je canggih tapi bantai warga sivil dan anak2 kecil tak berdosa. Memalukan! Tentera pengecut takda moral!

  43. How is so dumb kidnapped old peoples and children to free Palestine. I haven't seen in human history. Is it Hamasist tactics or Hamasist art of war ?
