Attack in Rafah endangers ceasefire

Six Palestinian terrorists were killed while assaulting Israel Defense Forces troops yesterday in Rafah in what Israel called a “serious violation” of the United States-brokered ceasefire with Hamas. This comes as the ceasefire’s second phase is to be implemented, in which Hamas is to lay down arms in exchange for Israel’s withdrawal from Gaza. U.S. President Donald Trump claimed that the ceasefire would bring “eternal peace,” but attacks like yesterday’s show otherwise.
