After Airstrikes Kill 0 Gazans, Hamas Slams Israel For Depriving Them Of Corpses To Display

“When will the world understand what we face in Palestine?”

Khan Yunis, May 31 – Palestinian terrorist factions who had hoped to trigger a bloody Israeli response to more than 100 rockets and mortar shells launched from the Gaza Strip voiced criticism of the Jewish State today for only hitting unmanned positions in retaliation, forcing the militant Islamist groups to accuse Israel of war crimes without the benefit of dead children or grim fatality statistics to parade before the media.

Islamic Jihad and Hamas leaders disclosed that they had hoped to induce civilian casualties among Palestinians when Israel struck targets in the Gaza Strip Tuesday after mortar shells and other ordnance hit the country’s communities near the coastal territory, but their plans were thwarted by Israel’s decision to deploy its air power against abandoned positions, isolated supply dumps, and empty military infrastructure. As a result, the leaders claim, the militant groups have no dead bodies of women, the elderly, or children they can pull from the wreckage after inviting the media to film the occasion and paint Israel as barbaric and wanton.

“This monstrous cruelty must cease – the world must intervene,” proclaimed Hamas leader in Gaza Yahya Sinwar. “Not only do the Zionists blockade us and restrict the flow of anything that can be used as a weapon, they even refrain from providing the essential supplies we need to accomplish the most basic elements of our governance here. We need dead children if we are going to go about undermining Israel’s standing, and they sadistically refused to cooperate today.”

“It’s just like the evil Zionists to engage in such brutality,” added Mustafa Massikr of Palestinian Islamic Jihad. “They know exactly what we need, and pointedly refuse to supply it. When will the world understand what we face in Palestine?”

While many analysts see the recent exchange of fire as a tactical and morale victory for Hamas – shelling Israel, sending hundreds of thousands of Israelis running for cover, and suffering no human casualties in Gaza as a result – the leaders of the two major movements behind the violence could see little cause for celebration. “We’re not here to think small,” Sinwar asserted. “It’s fun to torment Israelis, don’t get me wrong, but really this is all about putting Gazans in the line of fire and blaming Israel when they get hurt. We can do much more damage to Israel with that strategy than we can with all the Iranian armaments we’ve smuggled in, and for Israel to violate all norms of behavior by not killing anyone is just mean-spirited.”
