Two Hamas members kill three in morning rush hour attack
Attackers were brothers, shot dead at the scene
Attack comes on seventh day of Gaza truce
JERUSALEM, Nov 30 (Reuters) - Two Hamas gunmen killed three people at a Jerusalem bus stop during morning rush hour on Thursday, and Israel reiterated its commitment to wiping out the Palestinian Islamist faction, whose Oct. 7 killing spree triggered the Gaza war.
The attackers, Palestinians from East Jerusalem, were shot dead by off-duty soldiers and an armed civilian, police said. At least eight people were also wounded in the shooting.
“The terrorists arrived at the scene by car in the morning, armed with an M-16 rifle and a handgun,” police said. “The terrorists began shooting at civilians before subsequently being killed at the scene.”
Hamas, which is sworn to Israel’s destruction, claimed responsibility for the Jerusalem attack, deeming it “heroic”.
Obviously trying to goad Israel into deeper conflict. Hamas doesn’t give a fuck about Palestinians.
Hamas sure does like attacking civilians.
It’s far easier to target those that can’t or won’t fight back.
They don’t have a choice. Either kill civilians or get crushed by the military.
Or give up, which is what Israel and most of the Western world wants to happen.

They’re not out of options. They could surrender, “which is what Israel and most of the Western world wants to happen.”

They could also apply asymmetric warfare strictly against military targets, and guerilla movements in other conflicts have done exactly that.
Nobody forces Hamas to murder civilians. It’s something they’re doing out of their own volition.

You can try to stay on topic and recognize that your analogy is not a 1:1 representation of the situation at hand.
This
This what?
And Israel sure does love culling up to 1.3% of the population of Gaza
Israel’s military actions are far too broad and far too disproportionate of a response. They should be allowed to defend their civilians though, however what they are doing now goes way beyond defense.

THiS IS whAT DEColoniZATIon LoOks LikE!
It’s what an insurgency looks like, proto isreali terrorist groups did literally the same shit.
Isn’t this just revenge for the two Palestinian children killed a few days ago? https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/11/29/israel-kills-two-children-in-latest-raid-on-jenin-refugee-camp
I still don’t condone murder of civilians, but it’s not just for the fun of it.
Both sides do. Israel just gets to hide behind the “civilized” war because they have jets.

An Israeli civilian stopped both Hamas members and then IDF showed up and executed the civilian (with his hands up, surrendering) because they thought he was Hamas member.
They want to start a war so they can all team up together against Israel & remove them from the region.
Damn this sounds exactly like what Bernie was saying.
A cease fire requires both sides to agree.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The attackers, Palestinians from East Jerusalem, were shot dead by off-duty soldiers and an armed civilian, police said.
Israel’s Shin Bet security agency identified the gunmen as 30- and 38-year-old brothers who were affiliated with Hamas, which runs Gaza.
“The operation came as a natural response to unprecedented crimes conducted by the Occupation (Israel),” it said in a statement, citing the military offensive in Gaza and the treatment of Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails.
Israel’s far-right minister for police, Itamar Ben-Gvir, told reporters at the site of the attack that it “proves again how we must not show weakness, that we must speak to Hamas only through the (rifle) scopes, only through the war.”
Blinken, on his third visit to the region since the war erupted, said Thursday’s shooting was a reminder “of the threat from terrorism that Israel and Israelis face every single day … My heart goes out to the victims of this attack.”
The violence came as Israel and Hamas struck a last-minute agreement on Thursday to extend their six-day ceasefire in Gaza by one more day to allow negotiators to keep working on deals to swap hostages held in the enclave for Palestinian prisoners.
