Israel last August 26 ended Operation Protective Edge by sealing a ceasefire agreement with a confederation of terrorist organizations in Gaza, foremost among them Hamas and Islamic Jihad, but that deal now appears to be on the brink of collapse.
Khaled Al-Batash, a senior leader of the Islamic Jihad terrorist group, announced his organization may soon breach the agreement, in statements made during a speech to Islamic Jihad members at an event showing support for Khader Adnan, a jailed Islamic Jihad leader hunger-striking in an Israeli prison.
Al-Batash said that if Adnan dies as a result of his hunger-strike, the ceasefire with Israel will end, and "the enemy, the security of its settlers and cities, will be the target of the Islamic Jihad."
"Khader Adnan may suddenly die at any moment, doctors have confirmed to me," Jawad Boulos, legal counsel for the Ramallah-based Prisoners Club of the Palestinian Authority (PA) told AFP on Saturday. In 2012 Adnan was released from prison after a 66-day hunger strike.
Al-Batash emphasized that Islamic Jihad will not give up on its fundamental principles and will continue to try and free jailed terrorists.
He called on Egypt to increase its pressure on Israel to force it to give in to Adnan's demands, as he apparently is striking for better jail conditions, even though jailed terrorists have been revealed to receive perks criminals don't receive in prison.

This time don’t agree to a cease fire. They only ask for one once they are low on munitions and are getting their asses kicked.
Hamas has been lobbing rockets into Israel for a while now. When Israel strikes back, the rest of the world, especially the UN, will chime in to condemn the Israeli’s.
The terrorists would be very very very poorly advised to ramp up their murderous attacks again. Very poorly advised.
Sell the A10 warthogs to Israel so they can take Gaza back from the terrorists.
my theory is.... if the Muslim terrorists step up their attacks again, Israel will indeed take back Gaza (and much of the population will return, or be returned, to Muslim countries)
it is unrealistic to expect anything less of Jerusalem (or any sane government anywhere in the world — govts have a responsiblity to defend their countries and remove threats to their citizens)
just my guess what may happen ‘the next time’.... we will see....
I cannot for the life of me understand why the Israelis even bother to take these terrorist leaders prisoner.
Just kill them on the battle field and tell every body that they resisted arrest.
