Palestinian militants fire rockets into Israel ahead of fragile lull
2008-06-19
(Xinhua) -- Palestinian militants fired rockets into Israel early Wednesday, a day before an Egyptian-brokered shaky ceasefire takes effect between Hamas and Israel in the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip.

The Islamic Jihad movement claimed responsibility for the attack which involved the firing of nine rockets into Sderot city in southern Israel. "The operation comes in retaliation for the Israeli aggressions against our people and to strengthen the choice of resistance," the group said in a statement sent to the media.

#5  6:01 thursday waz my official prediction:

Navy fires shells into Gaza waters
...The navy fired four shells into the waters off Gaza City minutes after the Israel-Hamas truce began, as Defense Minister Ehud Barak was quoted in French newspaper Le Monde as saying he did not know how long the cease-fire between Israel and Hamas would last.

Day before cease-fire, Kassam slams into Sderot home

#4  Well, as I said yesterday, Hamas and Israel signed the agreement, not Islamic Jihad. So IJ is not bound by the ceasefire. And Hamas isn't strong enough to keep IJ from firing.
