Israel: Rockets Fired From Gaza, Cease-Fire Broken

http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/israelis-palestinians-resume-talks-gaza-deal-25032203

In what should be a surprise to no one, Hamas has broken the cease fire.
The Israeli military says three rockets have been fired from the Gaza Strip, breaking a temporary cease-fire amid negotiations over the war between Israel and Hamas.

The military says three rockets landed in open fields Tuesday near the southern city of Beersheba


Hamas needs to be disarmed, removed from gaza.

If it is true, then Hamas is the dumbest political organization in the World.

In other words, who is verifying that Hamas is actually doing it?

6. Being launched from Gaza doesn't prove that Hamas is doing it.

What I'm asking is, is Hamas verifying that they shot the rockets.

either way. Nor did they in the recent past when rockets were launched. Why would you expect them to do so now?

Hamas, led by moronic cowards. All they are doing is putting innocent civilians at risk with their rocket/missile attacks.

A lot like saying that the Republican party is accountable for every murder in Texas, being the ruling party there.

Shhow me they have a hand in the crime, then we're good. Until then, do realize that there are plenty of other groups in Gaza that would be happy to fuck shit up just to spite Hamas. Islamic Jihad, for example.
