The current 72 hour Egyptian brokered ceasefire between Israel and Hamas has come to an end. This is due to Hamas leaders' insistence on renewing hostilities if their demands were not met, and as of this morning, they have already done as such. Despite Egyptian and Israeli offers to extend ceasefire talks and negotiations, Hamas has shown no sign of moving from their demands or deviating from their core platform, which includes the ultimate goal of the physical destruction of Israel. So far more than 30 rockets have been fired on Israel since 8 am when the agreement officially elapsed.
In the midst of all this, Al Jazeera has managed to get an inside look at the fighting methods of Hamas. The video report, in Arabic details current Hamas military positions, including footage of a sniper reportedly observing an Israel army post across the border and that of a senior Hamas commander stationed near a rocket launched. Most startling though is the tour the journalist is taken which shows an apparent undiscovered, active tunnel supposedly connecting Gaza and the Israeli communities just over the border.
