"The rockets prompted Israel to keep Gaza crossings closed for a second consecutive day. Under the ceasefire, the flow of goods into the territory is meant to rise gradually."
"The truce, which took effect last Thursday and is known locally as the "calm," does not cover the West Bank, but several militant groups had threatened to retaliate for any Israeli operations there."

Was there a doubt in anybody's mind that the rockets would continue. I'm sure that there will be those here who will try to blame it on Israel, but the fact is that the rockets are still flying and they are coming from Gaza. Israel so far has abided by the terms of the cease fire as it was implemented for Gaza. In case anybody doesn't understand that, the cease fire was brokered with Hamas in Gaza by Egypt and was meant to stop the rockets being fired into Israel from Gaza. The West Bank was not part of the agreement in that Fatah is not involved in Gaza and was not part of the negotiations. The terrorists will continue to break the cease fire in the coming days and Israel will be forced to refrain from carrying out some of the agreement on it's side. Of course, Lebanon turned down peace talks which Israel offered. Try as you want Israel bashers, Israel has tried without success to talk peace. And you wonder why there is a wall around Gaza.

FTA:
U.N. sources said that since the truce started, Israeli forces fired into the Gaza Strip at least eight times, wounding two people. Palestinians fired rockets and mortars bombs into Israel at least three times, according to the Israeli army.
Okay - that paragraph uses the United Nations as the source.
That's not the Palestinian News Network, that's not Hamas,
it's not even B'Tselem - it's the U.N.
I would refer anyone interested in a few of the particulars
about the Israeli involvement in beaching the ceasefire to
take a look at the comments here:

I believe the Israeli people would LOVE to have the ceasefire hold - I distrust the sincerity of Israeli
officials and politicians. What is so different about
the manner in which their administration conducts
policy - it feels just like home to me. Yes - we DO
have a lot in common.

Either Allah is a really lousy aim with having his followers shoot rockets from territory that Adonai's Chosen traded with them in the hopes of achieving peace, or, Adonai is a great protector of His Chosen. I'm thinking it's both.
