Abandonment Issues

From USA Today:
"Israel abandons cease-fire after rocket attack"

Israel resumed its ground offensive in the Gaza Strip Sunday after Palestinian militants continued to launch rockets, ending a unilateral cease-fire, as the conflict entered its 20th day. Israel said rockets were fired into its southern region Sunday. Two were downed by Israel's Iron Dome air defense system and five fell in open areas. Shortly thereafter, the Israeli military said aerial, naval and ground strikes on Gaza were restarting. Earlier, Israel accepted and Hamas rejected a 24-hour extension of a humanitarian cease-fire meant to remain into effect until midnight Sunday.\ More than 1,000 Palestinians, mainly civilians, have been killed since the conflict began on July 8. Another 6,000 have been wounded. In Israel, 43 have died, including 40 soldiers, two civilians and a Thai worker.

Israeli soldier Barak Refael Degorker, 27, died in fighting Saturday "in the vicinity" of the strip.  Bodies of at least 130 Palestinians were recovered Saturday, Gaza health official Ashraf al-Kidra said, as people used the cease-fire to move medical supplies and tend to the dead and injured in the Gaza Strip. As the initial lull in hostilities began at 8 a.m. Saturday, Gazans poured onto the streets to find food supplies, look for missing family members or return to homes they left for shelters. The nearly three weeks of fighting has left swaths of rubble, destroyed roads and damaged power infrastructure in residential neighborhoods across the strip. Saturday's temporary truce was the second and the longest since the conflict began on July 8. A humanitarian cease-fire on July 17 was quickly overlooked as rocket fire resumed as soon as the set five hours expired. On Friday, Israel rejected a U.S.-backed proposal for a weeklong truce because it would require its forces to interrupt its operation to destroy Hamas tunnels. Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Yaalon told troops Friday that Israel may significantly widen the Gaza ground operation. A truce proposed by Egypt last week was rejected by Hamas because the group said it wasn't consulted. Hamas says any peace deal must include the lifting of a blockade against Gaza.

^ This is the 2nd truce and the 2nd time that Hamas has broke it. That's no big surprise. It just continues to show the world what this terrorist group wants - the complete destruction of Israel (and that's never going to happen.) It should be definitely clear to the whole world (except maybe those idiots demonstrating against Israel) that more Palestinians will die and that will be thanks to Hamas. Israel is working hard to end this (they don't want to be in Gaza while at the same time they don't want to be bombed from there constantly every year.) ^
