GAZA (Reuters) – Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has fired three of his top security chiefs after militants punctured a ceasefire he had agreed with Israel by bombarding Jewish settlements in Gaza with mortars.
After the attacks, Israel had put off security coordination talks scheduled as a follow-up to Tuesday’s groundbreaking meeting in Egypt with Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon.
But an Israeli official said on Thursday troops would not retaliate after some 50 mortar bombs and rockets hit settlements in Gaza.
There were no casualties in the attacks by militants who have refused to participate in Abbas’s ceasefire gesture, and plans for him to reconvene with Sharon next week at the Israeli leader’s desert ranch remained in place.
