IDF Officers: 'Don't Agree to Kassam Rocket Truce'
2006-11-26
Five terrorist groups offered Israel a limited truce Thursday night in exchange for an end to IDF counter-terrorist operations. IDF offficers say Israel must not agree.

Islamic Jihad leader Khader Habib said all the major terrorist groups, including Hamas, had agreed to stop firing Kassam rockets at southern Israeli communities on the condition that Israel cease all counter-attacks in Gaza, Judea and Samaria.

The truce includes only Kassam rocket attacks, Habib said. Other forms of terror activity, such as cross-border raids, suicide bombings and kidnappings would continue unabated.

Senior IDF officers said that ending IDF offensives in Gaza would cause great damage to the fight against terrorism, and would enable the terrorists to re-arm themselves in anticipation of the next round of fighting.
No! You don't say?

#11  Your right DMFD - isn't that how every single 'peace agreement' ended -- Including the so called ' roadkill roadmap to peace'?

#9  Prediction:

1) Israel honors 'truce.
2) Paleos continue to ignore truce.
3) Israel gets fed up with continuing attacks, strikes back.
4) Euros and MSM blame Israel for collapse of 'fragile peace deal'.

The truce lasted less than an hour from the Paleo side.  Quelle bloody surpise!
Whew! If that finishes the hudna, I'll take it.

#2  Olmert should have said NO! If the release of Shalit did not accompany the ceasefire offer!

Is no truce, only hudna. In Soviet Union, truce breaks you!
What does it tell you when the terrorists are offering to stop rocket launches that don't kill anyone in exchange for stopping reprisals that kill scores?
