In a forceful and highly unusual direct address to the terrorist group Hamas, Admiral Brad Cooper, the Commander of U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM), today issued a stark warning and an urgent plea, demanding that the group immediately cease all violence against Palestinian civilians in Gaza to preserve a fragile peace process.

Adm. Cooper's statement, released from CENTCOM headquarters, explicitly accused Hamas of targeting non-combatants in both areas under its control and in zones secured by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) behind the recently established 'Yellow Line', the agreed-upon repositioning boundary for Israeli forces under the new ceasefire agreement.
