Just one of many horror stories, but maybe this story will break through into some of the cold-hearted anti ceasefire politicians.

Palestinian aid group loses contact with team attempting to rescue 6-year-old girl trapped in car after attack

The Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) said they have lost contact with a team in central Gaza that was dispatched to rescue a six-year-old girl, for more than 18 hours.  The girl, Hind, was trapped in a car after it was fired upon Monday. She was in the car with six of her family members, all of whom were killed in the attack, PRCS said. 

“We are deeply concerned about the safety of the ambulance team that has set out yesterday evening on a mission to rescue the 6-year-old girl Hind Rajab from Gaza City,” PRCS said. “We still remain unaware of their fate, uncertain whether they succeeded in evacuating her or not." PRCS released an audio clip purporting to be the moment gunfire was directed at the car. In the clip, 15-year-old Layan Hamadeh, who is related to Hind, is heard speaking to a PRCS paramedic, crying for help.

“They are shooting at us. The tank is right next to me. We’re in the car, the tank is right next to us,” Layan screams, amid intense gunfire in the background. Layan then goes quiet, after the rounds of fire stop. The paramedic on the phone tries to speak to her, repeatedly saying, “Hello? Hello?” but he hears no response, before hanging up.  

CNN has reached out to the IDF for comment on the audio clip released by PRCS, and allegations made that six people were killed after a car was shot at in Gaza City. 



And yeah that pause is not coming without outside intervention, sanctions on weapon transfers instead of sanctions on aid.

Netanyahu vows Israel will not release "thousands of terrorists" in Hamas deal 

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Tuesday that Israel “will not release thousands of terrorists,” as part of a deal with Hamas, vowing to press on until Israel’s original war aims are achieved. And he pushed back at Hamas’s main stated aim in any deal, saying Israel would not pull troops out of Gaza.

“I hear statements about all kinds of deals,” he said in an address to Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank. “So I want to make it clear, we will not end this war with less than the achievement of all its goals. This means, the elimination of Hamas, the return of all our hostages, and the promise that Gaza will no longer pose a threat to Israel.”

Netanyahu said he was committed to “total victory …. And the majority of our nation and we are not going to compromise for less than that.” The prime minister's comments came as Hamas has said it is studying a proposal for a potential hostage deal and ceasefire but that it wants the complete withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza.
