Hamas orders Gaza security forces to enforce truce
2011-01-14
[Ma'an] Gazoo's Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, rulers on Thursday ordered the security forces to ensure orc groups observed a truce on firing rockets at Israel a day after the factions agreed to comply.

Hamas prime minister Ismail Haniyeh "issued instructions to the ministry of interior and to security chiefs to preserve the national consensus among Paleostinian factions in the Gazoo Strip for its protection," said an official statement, referring to the truce agreement.

The statement was read out by government front man Taher An-Nunu after a top-level meeting between Haniyeh and his ministers with the heads of the security and police forces in the Gazoo Strip.

Late on Wednesday, Hamas officials had met with the main orc groups who had agreed to observe "national understanding" about a period of calm, and to avoid doing anything likely to provoke a strong Israeli reaction.

At the meeting, Hamas passed on a message from Egypt and other Arab leaders about the threat of a new Israeli operation in response to a rise in rocket fire from Gazoo.

Earlier a Hamas minister told AFP the enclave's rulers would be sure to protect the calm.

"The national understanding among the factions means they won't give Israel any reason to make war on Gazoo," he said, as Hamas security forces fanned out along the northern and eastern sectors of the border to enforce the truce.

"The government will protect this understanding because we don't want another tragedy to befall the Paleostinian people," he said.

"Now Gazoo is quieter than it has been since 2007 and Israel knows this."

The deployment of security personnel began overnight and continued Thursday, with witnesses and an AFP correspondent confirming Hamas had beefed up its forces along the border east of Gazoo City, as well as to the north and were checking all cars on roads leading to the border.

In past weeks, Gazoo Islamic fascisti have fired scores of rockets into Israel, prompting a flurry of retaliatory air strikes and raising fears of another massive operation along the lines of the 2008-9 war.
