In Israel considered the truce announced this morning by the Islamist group Hamas in an attempt to prevent further retaliation after the shooting yesterday of a Kornet anti-tank missile against an Israeli school bus in the south of the country and left critically injured a teenager. Reading the local press and listening to the Government of Benjamin Netanyahu, does not seem that serious escalation, revived yesterday in the Gaza Strip and southern Israel approaches its end.
While the Israeli Air Force attacked at noon and a target of Hamas in southern Gaza, the militia have fired 16 mortars at a village in southern Israel in what is the first Palestinian attack since the announcement of unilateral ceasefire . "Israel has not completed its response to Hamas' murderous attack against a school bus.
Whoever carried out this attack must repent and accept the consequences. Everyone understands the meaning of aiming and firing a missile of this type against a yellow bus indicates that there are children. Everybody, including terrorists, you know. They have crossed a red line, "warned this morning the Israeli minister Matan Vilnai.
Minutes after the remarks, an Israeli airstrike in southern Gaza against the command 'armed wing' of Hamas killed two of its members. This morning, Israeli warplanes bombed three tunnels to smuggle in Rafaj. Yesterday, they experienced one of the worst days in the last two years. On the one hand, Palestinian militants attacked the bus said (many children had fallen before impact) and fired about 50 missiles, rockets 'Qassam' and mortar shells into southern Israel, causing no casualties.
On the other, tanks, aircraft and Israeli helicopters attacked 12 targets in Gaza, mostly linked to Hamas, killing five Palestinians and wounding 35. Also for the first time since their deployment on the ground, the Israeli system 'Iron Dome' neutralized a Grad-type rocket fired at the city of Ashkelon.
"It's a great success, but this system does not guarantee a watertight defense. Against terrorist groups must use defensive means and attackers," Netanyahu said yesterday from Germany. Israeli officials have warned that "Hamas will pay a heavy price for an unacceptable action", adding however "not interested in launching a new operation as 'Lead,'" referring to the massive offensive two years ago that ended the death of 1,300 Palestinians and 13 Israelis.
According to military experts, the challenge is "to charge a high price to Hamas to restore deterrence without reaching a level of climbing out of control the situation and force a large-scale operation." The 'armed wing' of Hamas claimed responsibility for the missile at the bus saying that is the answer to the deaths of three of their troops after an Israeli attack last Friday.
Last night the government of Hamas, which controls Gaza since June 2007 - sent a message to Israel through an intermediary (Egypt), ensuring its readiness to an immediate truce. "The world must stop the criminals of the Zionist enemy aggression against the Palestinian people", called yesterday a spokesman for Hamas.
This movement will ensure that the truce is to "prevent further Israeli attacks." A signal indicating that the surge has not said its last word is the decision by Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak, to cancel his trip to the United States. All claim that Israel and Hamas do not want a confrontation now open and lasting, but everyone fears that the momentum of mutual reprisal attacks and bring them to her.
