Israeli spokesman says Hamas ‘will now take the mother of all thumpings’

A government spokesman says Hamas “will now take the mother of all thumpings” after a truce pausing fighting in the Gaza Strip expired and hostilities resumed.

“Unfortunately, Hamas decided to terminate the pause by failing to release all the kidnapped women,” government spokesman Eylon Levy tells a briefing. “Having chosen to hold onto our women, Hamas will now take the mother of all thumpings.”
