The United States has welcomed Israel's ceasefire in the Gaza Strip and the limited truce announced afterwards by Hamas. Washington said it expected all parties to stop hostile actions immediately. Despite the unilateral ceasefire declared by Israel, Palestinian militants have continued to launch rockets. Israel says 18 struck without injury near the southern town of Sderot. Israeli warplanes replied by hitting a rocket launch site at Beit Hanun. Announcing the Israeli ceasefire early Sunday, Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said troops involved in Israel's three-week offensive would initially remain inside Gaza. Hamas has demanded a full pullout.

Well I guess you get what you pray for, Ultimate Destruction courtesy of whoever fired the first shot.

Reading the jpost article very carefully, is it not saying that rockets were fired after dark? For some reason it does not state specifically that these rockets were fired after the 2am start of Israel's unilaterally declared ceasefire, which I find surprising.

Yes I agree with you; it's a bit mysterious.

Can you add some more information to this - I want to recommend it but your highlight box has no text in it even.

The reports I have read say they were fired after Olmert's speech but before the 2.00am cease fire.
