MI Chief: Hamas upholding cease-fire, but smaller Gaza groups undeterred
Military Intelligence Chief Amos Yadlin said Sunday that while Israel's offensive on the Gaza Strip had indeed deterred Hamas, other radical groups in the coastal territory were still looking to escalate hostilities.Local Hamas is deterred, kinda sorta maybe. Its Beirut/Damascus leadership, which didn't take any casualties and didn't miss any meals, isn't. Hamas' owners in Teheran are even less deterred. The usual practice has been to have Hamas (or which ever other organization's signed the paper) adhere to its letter most of the time, while all the other groups that ostentatiously didn't sign continue with business as usual.
