Then overnight on Monday February 12th, anywhere from over 100 to 164 Palestinians were reportedly murdered by Israeli attacks. International alarm and condemnation of the Israeli hardline government is growing by the day. Simultaneously accompanied by IDF airstrikes, offshore IDF ship launched assaults and IDF artillery attacks from inside Israel, an IDF special forces operation launched an incursion in Rafah during the early morning hours Monday local time to rescue two Israeli hostages in Rafah, with initial reports stating 37 Palestinians were killed. At the same time Israeli tanks, armored personnel carriers and armored engineering vehicles are moving further into Gaza's next kill zone Rafah.
