Additional barrages of rockets have been fired at communities in southern and central Israel this evening (Wednesday) after Egyptian media reported that Egypt had brokered a ceasefire agreement between Israel and the terrorist organizations and the Gaza Strip which has already gone into effect.
Israeli officials have acknowledged that contacts have been made with the Egyptian government on the possibility of a ceasefire, but have not acknowledged that any agreement has been reached.
"Egypt approached us with a request for a cease-fire - the issue will be examined," Foreign Minister Eli Cohen said in an interview with Kan News.
At least 270 rockets were fired at Israel Wednesday afternoon before the reports of a ceasefire. Following the ceasefire reports, red alert sirens were activated in Tel Aviv, Be'er Sheva, Holon, Beit Dagan, Rishon LeZion, Ashkelon, Sderot, and more communities as terrorists fired more rockets at Israel.

THIS is why Ariel Sharon was so castigated for handing Gaza over. If he has sent in 20,000 troops and removed all Arabs to Jordan and dumped them there, by this point, two decades later, it would have been forgotten by everyone.
Arabs have a slightly different definition for a ceasefire than most people do. It means Jews don’t fight back.
Basically. We’re not allowed to, because the “international community” says “tsk tsk” and “cycle of violence”.

It means Jews don’t shoot while we reload.
Israel is far, FAR too nice to those sw-ine. There is only one they will ever understand: CRUSHING FORCE!
Ceasefire has a different meaning in Arabic.
A Jewish friend in Israel called me. She is terrified because it seems the entire world has turned on Israel, including the USA.
I’m in Israel. Not terrified. Don’t GAGS what the entire world thinks. They thought it yesterday, too. 600 missiles and they kill one old man, wound five other seniors. Terrified? Saddened that this is what the two-state “solution” amounts to.
So the USA don’t like us, either? Gosh, Bibi. Bending over for Brandon sure is paying big dividends now./alliterated sarc. Be ashamed. Be very ashamed. Didn’t vote for you this time, either.
Yeah, my friend doesn’t like Bibi either. She thought Trump was awful, but now that Biden is showing the world the dark side, she’s reevaluating Mr Trump.
I love Trump. Bibi, not so much.
