The cease fire has already been technically broken by hamas but.. they'll be dealt with through proper channels and not return fire.


­Nov. 22, 00:57 GMT: Israeli military has confirmed that at least five rockets had been fired at Israel from Gaza since the implementation of the ceasefire. “We have counted five rockets fired from Gaza since 21:00 Wednesday,” the Israeli military's press service told Ria Novosti. “Three of them landed in Israel, while two were intercepted. We did not fire back.” Earlier Reuters reported that 12 rockets were fired from Gaza, citing a police source.

These are some more "up to date" updates.

Nov. 22, 14:40 GMT: An Israeli soldier injured by mortar fire from Gaza on Wednesday has died from his wounds. The casualty brings Israel’s death toll in the conflict to six. The IDF identified the soldier as Boris Yarmulnik, 28, from the town of Netanya in northern Israel.

Nov. 22, 11:54 GMT: IDF chief Benny Ganz has ordered that reserve soldiers called up during the ‘Pillar of Defense’ operation gradually be discharged.

Nov. 22, 11:42 GMT: Israel could resume its missile attacks on Gaza at any point should Hamas violate the truce called on Wednesday, warned Defense Minister Ehud Barak.

­Nov. 22, 11:40 GMT: The ceasefire is an acceptable step for Israel-Gaza relations for the time being, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said.

Nov. 22, 09:32 GMT: Palestinian Authority (PA) President Mahmoud Abbas has sent special envoy Bassam al-Salhi on a three-day visit to China. Al-Salhi will hold talks with Chinese officials on a number of issues, including an appeal by PA leaders for Beijing to intervene in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The envoy is also expected to ask for support for the PA's request for non-observer status in the UN. The visit is widely seen as a sign of China’s growing influence in the Middle East.

Celebratory gunfire kills man in Gaza following truce.


A Palestinian man was killed by errant gunfire celebrating the end of the eight-day Israeli bombardment of Gaza. Three were also wounded as tens of thousands of Palestinians celebrated in the streets following the announcement of a truce.

Truce violated by both sides? Rockets hit Israel as drones circle over Gaza.


The recent truce between Israel and Hamas has already been violated by both sides, but may hold regardless unless Israel responds to provocations from groups not affiliated with Hamas, John Glaser from Antiwar.com told RT.

Thank you for this. I'll watch the video. I think a thread on Syria would be great if we could get one started. I wouldn't know where to start. I haven't really been following it much. Hopefully someone will make one.

Thank you for sharing the video. Just watched it. Those didn't look like terror operatives to me. Interesting part with the Iron Dome. I'd been wondering about it. In my mind, I thought it was a dome made out of strong material that covered most of Israel. Like a huge bowl.

Thank you for that reply. I didn't see any "terror operatives" either. That was the point? Of course I think the Israelis see terror everywhere. Anyone that was killed during Pillar of Bomb-- I mean --Cloud, was a terrorist, right? Babies that would have grown up to be terrorists anyway and every 1000 pound surgery performed on Gaza wiped out a basement filled with rockets.

Operation "Pillar of Defense" wasn't defensive either. The only defensive weapon Israel deployed that whole week was iron umbre---, I mean ---Dome. American tax payers paid for it and built most of the weapons.
