Truce. Truce. This is Truce?

This ‘truce’ is looking a whole lot like the last ‘truce’. Jerusalem Post:
The Gaza truce was broken yet again on Friday morning as terrorists fired two mortar shells at southern Israel. One of the shells landed near Kibbutz Kfar Aza, in the Sha'ar Hanegev region, while the other hit an open area. No one was wounded and no damage was reported.

On Thursday afternoon, a Kassam rocket fired from Gaza hit the Sderot industrial zone, exploding near a gas station. No casualties or damage to property were reported in the attack, for which Al-Aksa Martyrs Brigades claimed responsibility.
Monday night mortar, Tuesday & Thursday afternoon rockets and now Friday morning incomings. Perhaps there is just no truce to be had, nu? Of course, on the other side of the fence, the UN has reported 7 Israeli violations of the alleged truce.

Apparently, the IDF has been firing at any Palestinians who came into close contact with the Israel border area from the Gaza Strip or on any Gazans who attempted to cross into Israeli waters. Meanwhile the UN has only reported 1 Palestinian violation of the truce. Apparently, mortars and rockets fired on any other day than Tuesday do not count as Palestinian violations of the truce. Good to know.
