Miraculously, Hamas has “pledged” to stop firing its terrorist rockets into Israel from Gaza:

The Palestinian militant organisation Hamas has announced an end to rocket attacks on Israel from the Gaza Strip.

Up to 40 rockets have been fired at Israel in recent days, following Israel's withdrawal from Gaza earlier this month.

In response to the rockets, Israel resumed its policy of targeting militant leaders in air strikes.

Is this a sign of good faith? Is this the “political” wing of Hamas reigning in its “military” wing (even though they are one and the same)?

No. This is Hamas having a bad case of fear-inspired dysentery. The terrorist group is petrified of Israel’s military might. The Jewish state has proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that it can pick off Hamas members almost at will – probably with the help of Palestinian informants.

Israel nailed 3 Islamic Jihad terrorists on Friday; she finished off 2 Hamas terrorists on Saturday; and Israel arrested 200 Palestinian terrorists on the same two days.

Palestinian terrorists respond only to overwhelming strength. Israel has more military prowess than the whole Arab world combined. The Jewish state has shown enormous restraint when dealing with terrorists, but only up to a point. If the “Palestinian Authority” is unwilling to clean up the terrorists that roam so freely in the West Bank and Gaza, then Israel will do it – one terrorist at a time, if necessary.
