Hamas Needs To Re-Arm, Agrees To Truce

Hamas has apparently run low on rockets to fire at Israel and has agreed to a truce while they re-arm. This truce will last about two months before they do something to provoke the Israeli's. Of course the Israeli's will strike back and then Hamas runs around screaming for the UN and saying, "see, see, they violated the truce". Hamas will start launching their newly acquired rockets again and when they run out, the process begins again.

An Egyptian-brokered ceasefire between Israel and Hamas will begin on Thursday, a Palestinian official said, after Israeli air strikes killed six militants in the Gaza Strip.

The official, who is familiar with the truce negotiations, said on Tuesday the two sides agreed to a six-month deal. He voiced confidence the latest violence would not hold up the start of the agreement to end constant bloodshed.

A ceasefire would aim to end rocket and mortar bomb attacks on Israel from the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip and Israeli raids in the territory. Israel has said it would continue preparations for broad military action should a truce fall apart.
