Ceasefire Schmeasefire: Rafah and Jabalia Still Partying Hard

Israeli airstrikes have RSVP’d to a week-old ceasefire by crash-landing in Rafah and Jabalia, Gaza’s equivalent of throwing a keg when everyone agreed on herbal tea. Palestinian news outlet Wafa reported at least two casualties east of Jabalia, but don’t ask for emergency services — Israel tagged it a 'high-risk zone,' aka no-fly, no-drive, no-funsies allowed. Hamas blames Netanyahu for flaking on promises, biting his nails under pressure from his 'extremist terrorist coalition' (sounds like a political Tinder nightmare). Meanwhile mediators sip tea wondering if 'ceasefire' is just a polite suggestion in this neighborhood.
