2011-01-12 Israel-Palestine-Jordan

[Ma'an] The Gazoo government on Tuesday called on factions operating in the Strip to comply with "what has been agreed on" regarding field activities, in an implied reference to the unofficial ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason,.

Gazoo government front man Tahir An-Nunu said a "national consensus" had been reached to protect residents of the besieged coastal enclave and their properties.

An-Nunu said the Hamas-led government would ensure all factions complied with the consensus.

He said the government had been involved in contacts locally and at an international level to avoid a new Israeli offensive.

The statement followed an announcement Monday by Hamas front man Sami Abu Zuhri that the party would consult factions to set restrictions on how to respond to Israeli aggressions.

Tensions have risen along the Gazoo-Israel border for several weeks.

Factions supporting the National Resistance Brigades, the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Paleostine, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Paleostine and Islamic Jihad have grabbed credit for launching more than 20 projectiles into southern Israel in January.

So far in 2011, Israeli war planes have shelled sites across the coastal enclave on three nights, and several skirmishes have been reported between Islamic fascisti and Israeli soldiers along the border.

On Sunday, several right-wing Israeli ministers called for a tough military response to projectile fire from the Strip.

Israel unilaterally declared a ceasefire on Gazoo in January 2009, following the military offensive known as "Operation Cast Lead," in which more than 1,400 Paleostinians, mostly civilians, and 13 Israelis, 10 of them soldiers were killed.

Following Israel's ceasefire, Hamas and most of the factions operating in Gazoo agreed to a truce, and to halt the launch of projectiles toward Israeli targets.

Not all factions have adhered to the truce, while Israel maintains that it holds the "Hamas terrorist organization solely responsible for maintaining the calm in the Gazoo Strip and for any terrorist activity emanating from it," and has vowed to "continue to respond harshly to any attempt to use terror against the State of Israel."
