Hi,It really looked like we going to finish this all round of violence. It was a good opportunity to end The kite terror, the Qassam rockets, the fires, the aircraft attack on Gaza strip, the sirens at night, the violent demonstrations on the border fence.
Yesterday morning there were agreement and thing seemed to be settled for quiet summer. But the fire raised again: an incident in which an Israeli tank shot at gunman near the border lead to the hit again. Hamas saying it was a part of a drill, but in agreement a situation like that will probably be allowed.
It seems Hamas again decided it does not in his interests to keep this quiet. Will it lead to a war? I don’t know but the winds of war are blowing for pretty long time. And it became an opportunity for a new round of violence…
