    Gaza militants call another truce with Israel

    GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) — Gaza militants early Friday called their second truce in less than five days in an attempt to keep more than a week of hostilities with Israel from escalating.

    A leader of the Islamic Jihad faction, Mahfez Azzam, said Egypt mediated the cease-fire, which is to go into effect at 1 p.m. local time Friday (1100 GMT).

    The factions had called a cease-fire late Sunday, but it dissolved almost immediately in a volley of rocket fire from Gaza on southern Israel and retaliatory Israeli airstrikes in which some two dozen Palestinians and one Israeli were killed. The violence began with a militant attack that killed eight Israelis on the Egyptian border.

    "The government has called on the Palestinian factions not to give an opportunity to the (Israeli) occupation government to escalate its aggression further," said Taher Nunu, a government spokesman in Hamas-ruled Gaza.

    Another Hamas official said all key factions agreed to the truce and that the Gaza government and Egypt were trying to get tiny factions on board, too.

    Hours earlier, an Israeli airstrike killed two Palestinian militants in Gaza following a salvo of rocket attacks on Israel.

    Palestinian officials said the two were members of Islamic Jihad.

    The Israeli military confirmed the air attack, saying the two were targeted after they fired mortar shells toward an Israeli border crossing, damaging it.

    More than 15 rockets and mortar shells were fired toward Israel on Thursday, the military said.

      Ron Paul will find a way to condemn Israel for the truce breaking down....even though the rockets were fired into Israel. Ron Paul see's Israel as "The nation you love to hate."

      the palestinian playing with fire - the israeli will loose theire patient and destroy gaza again. however - i think that this is exactelly what the hamas aim for - war and war again and again - if no war - no hamas.

      When terrorists call for a truce it only means re-load. These terrorists in Gaza should be hunted like animals 24/7.

      The only way there will be peace in the Mideast is when Jordan opens it gates to the Palestine people who for centuries lived in Jordan and still are crawling all over Jordan.
      Jordan threw them out not it must let them back home. Israel needs to herd the Muslim back home to Jordan.

      "Gaza militants early Friday called their second truce in less than five days in an attempt to keep more than a week of hostilities with Israel from escalating" You mean the truce/cease fire violators are loosing too many of their leadership. Need more training time and re-arming time. I give it 1, no more than 2 days before they start attacking civilians in Israel again.

      @Hendrik. I would have thought that you have viewpoints to consider until you betrayed yourself with the following lie, besides the hate: "Jews promoting multiculti, race mixing, abortion and mass immigration in white countries, will not practicising it in israel themselves, is nothing but a genocide campaign against Whites." You yourself wrote that Israel is a secular government. The secular government allows abortion, brings non-Jews and and people of debatable Jewish origin into the country, and debates what to do about the illegals from Sudan and the legals from the Philippines and other countries out of similar concerns for multi-culturalism and the like. There are large gay pride parades each year. The same debates that occur in other countries over these matters occur there. Whether these issues should even be up for debate is debatable itself, but the point is, you're wrong for saying Jews push these agendas in other countries but not in their own, as "a genocide campaign against Whites." It's not for nothing that Jews go around concerned about anti-Semitism. What are statements like yours leading to otherwise?

      The Original land of Israel consisted of all of Jordan, Iran, parts of Syria and Iraq. Today Israel is the size of New Jersey. The Land theft is what was stolen from the Jews, not the other way around. They now have a tiny fraction of their original space, yet evil people wish to steal even that. It is Islamic imperialists like Osama ben Ladin who perpetuate the myth of land theft, based on Paliwood lies. If people like you believe this, then they are pitifully ignorant. Read the Bible or pick up a history book & find the truth.

      Lost, the right wingers all over the world have a common cause, hence know each other. It is the liberation of the white race. We must secure the existence of our people and a future for White Children. The systems put in place by jews are allowing mexicans, muslims, blacks whatever to flood white nations. But not just immigration. The moral collapse, multiculti, everything anti-white is promoted by jews. Violence is counter-productive to the white cause, hence groups like aryan brotherhood are more of an embarrassment

        Very interesting thought my friend. Made me rather curious. But I must go for now. Thanx!

      Most of the people that argue with you here are right wing american tea party supporters and also white supremest. Many are traced directly back to the Neo Nazi group in Ohio.

      I understand how your thinking about it, Look at how the various tribes in the world believe in the same religion and yet still hate each other and fight to the death. The right wingers in the USA might hate each other but they all have a common cause.

      Lost, I know many people in such groups quite well. They are wracked with infighting and competition and don't work well together, to the point of frowning in membership in more than one. The Klan and neonazis are opposed to each other. The Klan and Christian Identity, the 2 Christian groupings, are opposed, unless the Klan grouping is purely CI. It goes on and on

      The arabs can't keep their words. They are prolific liers and murderers. No surprise then that more arabs were killed by arabs then by non arabs. Never trust them or their wives

      Seriously look into it, might be a sad day to learn how they are associated and also how they are very deeply in bed with the American Neo Nazi conservative groups.

      Lost, Aryan brotherhood is largely a prison based organisation. They are into drugs, murder for hire and illicit money making. they dont get involved in foreign policy. Perhaps you mean AIPAC
