Hamas Wants Ceasefire After More Than 600 Rockets Fired Into Israel

Epoch Times: Palestinian officials said that a ceasefire, mediated by Egypt, was reached between Israel and terrorist groups on May 6 at 4:30 a.m. local time, to end a recent surge of violence in southern Israel and the Gaza Strip. But no official confirmation of such a ceasefire deal has come from Israel or its military.

Israel has been at the receiving end of more than 600 rockets since May 3, by Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) from the Gaza Strip.

“The ceasefire understanding will begin Monday 04:30,” a Palestinian official familiar with the agreement said, according to Reuters.

A second Palestinian official confirmed that a deal had reached, as well as a TV station belonging to the Hamas terrorist group, according to Reuters.

Reports of the ceasefire come after a two-hour window of no rockets being fired into Israel, the Times of Israel reported.

Despite ceasefire reports, Israeli authorities have decided to keep schools in southern Israel—within a 40-kilometer (25-mile) radius of Gaza—closed for the day, according to the Times of Israel.

An Islamic Jihad official told AFP that the ceasefire was based on Israel easing restrictions on the Gaza strip, including easing limits on fishing and improvements in Gaza’s electricity and fuel situation. more here

  1. Sure. Give them peace.

    Théoden’s peace, that is…

    “‘We will have peace,’ said Théoden at last thickly and with an effort. Several of the Riders cried out gladly…. ‘Yes…’ he said, now in a clear voice, ‘we will have peace, when you and all your works have perished — and the works of your dark master to whom you would deliver us. You are a liar, Saruman, and a corrupter of men’s hearts. You hold out your hand to me, and I perceive only a finger of the claw of Mordor…. Even if your war on me was just as it was not… even so, what will you say of your torches in Westfold and the children that lie dead there? And they hewed Háma’s body before the gates of the Hornburg, after he was dead. When you hang from a gibbet at your window for the sport of your own crows, I will have peace with you and Orthanc…. A lesser son of great sires am I, but I do not need to lick your fingers. Turn elsewhither. But I fear your voice has lost its charm.'”
    -JRR Tolkien, “The Two Towers”

    …Islam has no CHOICE but to destroy all that is not Islam. It’s a defining feature added at it’s founding, and cannot be removed. They can only be at war or lie to us so they have time to rearm and plan, THEY HAVE NO OTHER MODE.

    …death is the only way a Muslim can be at peace with kufir.

    Grant them that peace.

  2. Dealing with these animals is like trying to negotiate with the wind == their hate and desire to destroy Israel is all they know and it’s based on a big lie.

    “Palestinians” are really Jordanians and other incidental Arabs who like the transsexuals call themsleves something they are not.

  3. Hamas sits around saying “have we gone too far in provoking them to really get serious?” Just before they think they have they break out the white flag.

    Gutless aholes I say.

  4. In musloid terms , it’s called a hudna. Their “perfect man” recommended it. Dave in PB and Anonymous get it exactly. When will the rest of the West?

  5. Dear Hamas,
    The next time you start warring on us, we shall retaliate.
    When you cry out for ‘cease-fire’, we’ll remind you that we both are acting under the latest cease-fire.
    Sincerely Israel.

  6. Israel: “They’re calling for a ceasefire, you say? Hmmm… [reloads missle launcher] … too bad all those rockets they lobbed at us took out our communication system. [fires missle] Sure wish we knew they wanted us to stop firing at each other…”
