In the name of Peace
On Wednesday, Israel's political-security cabinet decided not to launch a military operation in Gaza, preferring to give Egyptian negotiators additional time to broker a ceasefire with Hamas.
and what do you suppose happens?
Well, I'm told that at least 40 mortars and 25 Qassams landed in Israel, primarily in the Hof Ashkelon Regional Council, a number of fires have broken out as a result.
In Kibbutz Yad Mordechai, a 59-year-old woman was wounded by shrapnel to her neck. She is currently being treated by emergency medical service personnel. Fires are buring
One of the mortars landed in Palestinian territory near the Erez crossing, lightly injuring a Palestinan.
and... a missile, apparently of a type "Grad" landed near Ashkelon. No injuries were reported but a number of people suffered from shock. The city's alert system did not sound prior to the missile's landing.
The attacks are supposedly a "response" to death of a high-ranking terrorist who mishandled some explosives and blew himself (and a few other terrorists) to bits.

Israel and it's leftist Kadima government have gone soft on terrorism. Giving Egyptian negotiators time to broker a ceasefire with Hamas is committing national suicide. Hamas, as with all Muslims, will follow the tactics of Al-Takeyya (lying for Islam) and Hudna (deceitful cease-fire promises with the intent of breaking them when they are stronger) to gain recognition and concessions from the Israeli enemy and Jewish infidels.
Israel's current strategy and tactics on Hamas and the rest of the Palestinian terrorist movement is best described in the words of Forrest Gump and General Honore, respectively.

The only peaceful "Palestinian" is a room-temperature "Palestinian".
I quote Palestinian because they're really Arabs not Palestinians. The old Philistines have been gone since about the time Nebuchadnezzar conquered the place in the 6th century BCE (give or take 50 years).
