Hamas said on Saturday that Gaza militants had agreed to halt their rocket fire at Israel if Israel in turn stops launching strikes against targets in the coastal territory.

Hamas spokesman Ismail Rudwan said after a meeting with faction heads over a surge in cross-border tensions with Israel, that militants were "committed as long as the occupation [Israel] was committed" to restore a de-facto ceasefire.

Impossible to have any meaningful dialogue or progress with a group promoting this sort of "logic."

So why did you start them to begin with? To see if your “Arab brothers” jump in to help you?

Pound them.

Hamas was the one who started all this. Sheesh. But of course, in muzzie logic, Israel is always the aggressor.

The solution is pretty obvious there, Scout.

Stop launching the rockets onto Israeli turf, and your life magically gets quieter.

Either that or the strikes are hurting them.

All of the above. The most damaging was most likely the interception but I am confident the MB in Egypt will re-arm them with far more and this is just a diversionary tactic to keep Israel from interceeding in the new shipments before the Hamas/MB offensive begins.

Wasn’t it the rocket attacks that started the Gaza strikes?

No kidding. They have taken damage and want the counterattacks to stop for awhile so they can have “peace” for a few months while they reconstitute their forces and resources and then start all over again, as they have done time and time in the past.

Hamas fire rockets to kill Israeli's and Israel retaliates. Then, Hamas say they'll stop firing rockets if Israel stops retaliating???????????? The Hamas brain is not wired like a normal brain.

Exactly. Anytime one of these barbarians calls for a cease fire it means only that they are either a) getting their butts kicked or b) they need time to get more ammo.

In truth its usually both but you get the idea.

This is kinda like Obama constantly saying “Let me be clear”. For both my response is, Who the hell is stopping you?
