More on the truce in the middle east...

When will the press wake up to these incredible violations of the truce?
In the most violent 24 hours since the cease-fire was declared in February, three agricultural workers – two Palestinians and a foreign worker from China – were killed, and five Palestinian workers wounded, when a Kassam rocket hit a storeroom located in the hothouse area in Ganei Tal in Gush Katif.

In Sderot, a mother and her two daughters were treated for shock after their home suffered a direct hit when three Kassam rockets were fired at the western Negev town. In the afternoon, four Kassam rockets were fired into the western Negev, all landing in open areas near Kibbutz Or-Haner and Kibbutz Kissufim.

Islamic Jihad's armed wing, the Al-Quds Battalions, claimed responsibility for the attack and said it was carried out to avenge the killing earlier in the day of a senior member of the organization near Jenin, Marouah Kmeil, 27.

In the raid near Jenin, security forces killed Kmeil, a senior Islamic Jihad commander and Nasser Zakarneh, 23, also a member of the group who, they said, were planning suicide bomb attacks in Israel.
