Calm rockets

A number of Arab newspapers, as well as CNN, are juxtaposing yesterday's "agreement" in Cairo for a calm by terrorist groups with Israeli actions in Gaza, making it appear that Israel is violating a truce.

Of course, Israel never agreed to any "calm" or truce.

What is more interesting is that none of these sources mention that Palestinian Arab rocket fire has not only ceased, but has increased in recent days. Since the "tahadiye" announcement some 12 rockets have been shot at Israel (some five last night, including two during a Holocaust memorial service; seven this morning, including one that hit near a high school sending students into shock.)

As usual, Qassam rockets are simply not reported as news.
