Updated at 8:02 a.m. ET: Israel started drafting 16,000 reserve troops on Friday as Egypt’s prime minister visited the Gaza Strip to show support for Palestinians amid a cross-border conflict with Hamas militants that risks spiraling into an all-out war.

But even as Prime Minister Hesham Kandil arrived for a three-hour visit in the coastal enclave, a temporary cease-fire declared by Israel at Egypt’s request collapsed after both sides accused the other of violating it.

Explosions were heard Friday in Tel Aviv, prompting the city to sound air raid sirens, NBC’s Lawahez Jabari reported.

A police spokesman said one rocket fired toward the coastal city fell into the sea. "The rocket landed off the shores of Tel Aviv," the spokesman told Reuters.

Reservists aren’t drafted, you media idiots, they are MOBILIZED.

I was mobilized in 2003 when we invaded Iraq. I got my draft number in 1969. Muy big differencia.

"Palestine is the heart of the Arab and Muslim world and the body is not healthy while the heart is sick," he added.

If Muslim Palestine is the heart of the Arab world, then the Arab body is a type-II diabetic subsisting on pork fat, Twinkies, Bud Lite and Marlboros.

The only thing cease fire does is it gives the Palestinians time to reload.

One never ceases to be amazed by how little journalists know (and by how much they think they know).

So, Mr. Reporter, which side actually violated it? Any idiot can report press releases. Journalists actually do their own work and get actual facts.

This story is useless, because NBC can't be bothered to actually find out what happened.

On the other hand, it's pretty clear the palistinians shot rockets into Israel. Again. So maybe NBC doesn't WANT to find the truth, because it would show their side was lying.

You can be sure to trust the accuracy of this article even when the reporter doesn’t understand the basic difference between drafting civilians and mobilizing trained reservists. No need to worry! /sarc off
