Following the Gazan rocket and
mortar attacks upon Israeli civilian neighborhoods this past Tuesday, Israel
now believes the conflict is over.
It appears that Egypt helped relay a message to Israel that Hamas was
willing to stop the attacks. Israel
responded that they will not attack if the rocket and mortar strikes end. Initially Israel responded to the attacks
forcefully striking 65
Hamas and Islamic Jihad targets throughout Gaza and a tunnel that ran
through the Sinai Peninsula into Israel.
I just wonder if there is a
conflict between Hamas and the Islamic Jihad.
Did the Islamic Jihad take the initiative to strike Israel? Then with Israel’s strong response, did Hamas
have to reel them in?
