Israeli Jihad Update from a strangely illiterate story: "cowered" for "cowed," "declined" for "denied." "Militants fire rockets into south Israel," from AP, with thanks to JE:
JERUSALEM - Palestinian militants fired five rockets at southern Israel early Thursday, shortly after officials said Israeli threats had cowered the Hamas-led government into stopping the attacks.The Israeli army said one person was slightly injured in the southern town of Sderot and a building was damaged. The Islamic Jihad military group took responsibility for the attacks.
Hamas had said it was ending a 16-month cease-fire against Israel in response to an explosion Friday that killed eight civilians on a Gaza beach. Several dozen rockets were then launched into Israel, prompting the Israeli government to issue threats against Hamas.
Maj. Gen. Amos Gilad, a senior Defense Ministry official, said earlier Thursday that the rocket attacks had apparently stopped following the threats.
Israel Radio reported Thursday that a Hamas leader living in Syria, Khaled Mashaal, and Palestinian Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh had ordered a stop to the rocket fire. Hamas officials declined the report.

BAH, how many rockets, attacks, bombs, bullets and deaths occured in the "16 month ceasefire"? I do not like their idea of a cease fire.
SECONDLY, the explosion at the beach may have staged. It appears to be the result of a land mine, one of many planted by HAMAS to thwart a possible Israeli attack. Apparently not all the mines were recovered. The camera crews on have must have known this as they were already set up and just waiting for the death to come.

You're a little behind on this story. Check out honestreporting.com and augean stables blogsites for the dirt on the "coverage" of the event, which was cleaved together from archival footage.
Not only that, but hamas is already talking about renewing the "ceasefire" now that these beans and others are being spilled.
