Palestinians Agree To Stop Firing Rockets
Y-Net:
Palestinian official tells Ynet Hamas-led talks yielded agreement between armed organizations to halt Qassam attacks. It is believed the move was made to fend off an Israeli invasion of the Gaza strip.
Palestinian armed groups in the Gaza Strip agreed on Sunday to stop firing rockets towards Israel, a Palestinian official told Ynet.
The official said the agreement was the fruit of talks between the dismissed Hamas government and representatives of armed groups responsible for daily rocket attacks against the Jewish state.
The official said that the agreement was sped up by the attack on the Zikim military base last week. The attack left 67 soldiers injured and increased public pressure on the government to launch a large-scale military operation in Gaza to halt the attacks.
The official said that the armed groups had been limiting their operations to attacks against Israeli soldiers operating in the Gaza Strip.
Israel launched limited incursions in the north and south of the Gaza Strip after the attack on Zikim.
The official said Fatah was seeking to hamper Hamas-led efforts to bind Palestinian groups to a ceasefire, accusing Fatah gunmen of firing mortar shells toward Israel over the weekend.
The official said that Palestinian groups had agreed not to renew rocket fire unless Israel carried out targeted assassinations against senior gunmen.

September 16th, 2007 at 6:46 amYeah, sure. And they’re going to stop breathing too. The previous comments are right on the money.
September 16th, 2007 at 7:08 amRan out of war heads did they?
September 16th, 2007 at 7:09 amfuck ‘em , stop this bullshit dance
it is time
September 16th, 2007 at 7:33 amI think if they attacked now there would be too much shit coming out of the u.n. (yes purposely left lower case). Although if they wait for the Palestinian terrorists to restock the inaccurate weapon system, they would have every justification to shell a three or four block radius of the launch point and call it a defensive move. This way Syria, Iran, and the rest of the Ragheaded Heads of State could not say it was an unneccesary use of force.
September 16th, 2007 at 8:01 amWouldn’t four blocks taken out reduce the Gaza Strip by 50%?
Please don’t attack us while reloading our supplies from Iran. UPS says there was a shipping error somewhere in the Syrian desert.
