(CNN) -- Hamas wants an end to Israel's long blockade of Gaza and raids on the territory in any cease-fire that might put a stop to five days of weaponry plummeting from the sky, a top Palestinian official said Sunday.
Hamas, the Palestinian militant group that has ruled Gaza since 2007, said an Israeli airstrike killed a family of 10 on Sunday. Israel, meanwhile, said Hamas had fired nearly 150 rockets into Israel in a single day, and that the strike was aimed at killing one of the leaders of the militant group's rocket corps -- but Israel was unsure whether he was among the dead.
It was the latest violence in what has become a daily nightmare for millions in the region, one that puts Gaza's 1.7 million residents and millions of Israelis in harm's way. But an Israeli special envoy was in Egypt for cease-fire talks late Sunday, the Egyptian government said, and a stream of Arab League, U.N. and European diplomats were darting in and out of the region on similar errands.
Nabil Sha'ath, a senior Palestinian negotiator, said Hamas is demanding an end to "the harassment and draconian siege of Gaza that prevents anything from coming in or going out, so that there will be a normal life for the people of Gaza." The territory has been under a crippling economic embargo since Hamas won control of the territory from the Fatah-led Palestinian Authority, which controls the West Bank.

Have smaller families and that won't happen!
[and i don't believe CNN for a second]
In fairness to CNN, that sort of thing can happen when you use your family as human shields.
CNN supports Hitler. Who knew? (everyone).
Hamas, the Palestinian militant group that has ruled Gaza since 2007, said an Israeli airstrike killed a family of 10 on Sunday. ,AWWWWW They forgot all the fuzzy little puppies and kitties that the evil JOOOOOOOOOOS killed when the bombs fell.
If they demand a resumption of imports, let them import electrical switch gear and distribution systems. Let them import sewer and water plants. Let them import road and bridge building equipment. Let them import hospital supplies and equipment.
Let them replace all that has been destroyed except the lives of the leaders taking them down the path of destruction.
I was just saying that if the palees does want to have terrorist families (ie, families living next to rocket launch sites) whacked of a certain size, they’ll need to outlaw that size family. Of course, other family sizes are still at risk...
They SAY a lot of things, most of them provably false, frequently absurdly so.
