Israel's military early Tuesday said it was "conducting extensive strikes" against Hamas targets in Gaza, further straining an increasingly fragile ceasefire between Israel and the militant group. The Israel Defense Forces were striking Hamas targets throughout the Gaza Strip, "with the aim of achieving the war goals as determined by the political echelon, including the release of all our hostages " living and dead," the office of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said. "From now on, Israel will act against Hamas with increasing military force," it said. Gaza Civil Defense spokesman Mahmoud Basal said dozens of people have been killed and wounded, and that there have been more than 35 attacks on homes. "Our crews are unable to deal with the attacks due to limited resources and the dangerous situation," Basal said. "We call on the world to stop this aggression."
The latest Israeli military action follows separate Israeli strikes that, according to the Gaza Health Ministry, killed at least 14 people in 24 hours over the weekend. The ministry reported the deaths in a statement Sunday.
Netanyahu is still on trial for corruption and facing inquiries over the 7 Oct 2023 surprise attack. Trumpf bombed the Houthis the other day on his behalf to prompt reprisals from Yemen and possibly Iran. As a wartime PM, all of the proceedings against Bibi will be delayed again, so he is sacrificing more Palestinians and Shia Yemenis to buy time. www.msn.com

Hamas warns that Israel's new airstrikes breach their ceasefire

OK, so it seems that we are now, once again, regressing to the hundreds of years of war/disagreement in the Middle East.
The belligerent activities in the Middle East remind me of something that I experienced back in the 80's.
I was visiting a Fraternity Brother for a weekend, enjoying his local environment (Birmingham, AL).
During that visit, his two cats got into a fight.
To my eyes, that fight seemed to be destructive between those two cats. Claws and hissing were abundant.
I asked my Brother, aren't you going to do anything to stop that fight?
His comment to me was most discerning, and one that has stayed with me over the decades ...
"... do you really want to stick your hands into that? ..."
After a while the two cats were quite friendly towards each other.
With that in mind, will the Middle East problems resolve themselves, after hundreds of years of problems?
I wish I knew.
But, there is no transactional solution to that problem.
