The ceasefires do not hold

Fatah and Hamas are at it again. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070515/ap_on_re_mi_ea/israel_palestinians

But not surprisingly, Israel gets dragged into this ruckus because fights broke out along their border and now they too are part of the conflict.

The ceasefire collapsed between the two Palestinians parties but is back on again. http://www.cnn.com/2007/WORLD/meast/05/14/palestinians.cease.fire/index.html

Now Israel is exchanging bullets with Hamas. http://www.cnn.com/2007/WORLD/meast/05/16/mideast.ap/index.html

Who knows how long it will last.

It's interesting that the collapse of the ceasefire between Hamas and Fatah didn't get enough press as that of Israel's retaliation even though Israel didnt start it to begin with.
