Hamas threatens to break ceasefire after Israeli air strikes

Israel and Hamas were on the brink of war last night as a senior member of the Islamic movement hinted that it would stop observing a 20-month-old ceasefire in retaliation for the latest Israeli assault on the Gaza Strip. The Israeli military insisted that it would carry on targeting Hamas, after what it described as clear evidence that the movement was smuggling weapons into Gaza to mount cross-border attacks.

Hopefully the Israeli government has had a chiropractic adjustment or something to fix its spine since the Round 1 festivities in Lebanon with the Hezbulls.
