Prophetic – I think not

But it sure is fun to see what a difference a day makes. Yesterday, the Jerusalem Post ran a piece suggesting that Islamic Jihad had every intention of violating the Gaza Strip truce despite publicly agreeing to abide by the conditions of the truce. And today they do – and not just with one measly rocket either. The Jerusalem Post

Three Kassam rockets hit the western Negev on Tuesday afternoon, in a second violation of a cease-fire that Hamas has been abiding by since it went into effect last Thursday. Islamic Jihad claimed responsibility for the attack, saying that the attack was to avenge an IDF raid that killed one of its members in the West Bank early Tuesday. "We cannot keep our hands tied when this is happening to our brothers in the West Bank," the group said in a statement. Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri said the rocket attack "came as result of Israeli provocation this morning." He added, however, that Hamas was "committed to the calm" "We will talk and we will make sure that all of the factions are committed to the calm, too," he said.

A statement from Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's Office has condemned the attack as a "gross violation" of the truce, but did not say whether it would retaliate. I hear an echo in my memory and think - where have I heard this all before? Maybe here, nu?
