Hamas has pledged an end to rocket attacks from Gaza, but it apparently means that such attacks will end when Israel is completely destroyed. "Claim of Responsibility for Rocket Attack," from Israel National News, with thanks to Sr. Soph:
(IsraelNN.com) A terrorist group calling itself The Armed Wing of the Popular Resistance Committees claimed responsibility for the firing of a rocket into southern Israel this afternoon. The target was apparently Netiv Ha'asarah, just north of the Gaza Strip. There were no injuries or damage reported.The rocket was of the Nasser-3 type, according to the terrorists' communique. The Nasser-3 is produced by Hamas.
Yes, but that statement is good enough for the Jew-hating media:
Reuters:
Israel mounts new strikes, Hamas ends attacks.
BBC:
Fresh Israeli air strikes on Gaza
The EU which, of course, sees no difference between those who start launching rockets and those who defend themselves ( but hey, nothing new there- Europe has never wanted Jews to defend themselves.):
EU's Solana presses Israel, Palestinians over Gaza
The only "pressing" that needs to be done is hamass and all the other terrorist groups and individuals in Gaza to be pressed 6 feet under, permanently. Sorry, I find this far beyond unacceptable behavior. Our weasely State Department needs to get off its duff and wholesale support Israel or tender resignations, IMO.
This is the peace that Hamas would like to revert back to:
Jerusalem resident kidnapped, killed by Hamas
Etgar Lefkovits - THE JERUSALEM POST - Sep. 26, 2005
A Jewish resident of Jerusalem was kidnapped by Hamas terrorists and murdered, police said Monday.
The body of Sasson Nuriel of the northern Jerusalem neighborhood of Pisgat Ze'ev, who was kidnapped earlier this week was found Monday morning in the West Bank village of Beitunia.
Nuriel's body was discovered following a four-day Shin Bet and Israel Police manhunt which resulted in the capture of one of the suspected members of Hamas cell believed responsible for the killing, police said.
Nuriel, who worked in the nearby West Bank settlement of Mishor Adumim went missing on September 21. After police received notification, a massive manhunt was initiated in the area around Jerusalem for Nuriel's whereabouts.
According to the Shin Bet investigation, Nuriel was kidnapped by a Hamas cell active in the Ramallah area on the afternoon of September 21. The arrest of one of the suspected members of the cell Monday morning and subsequent interrogation led police to the victim's body.
