It doesn't look as if Hamas will stop lobbing rockets toward Israel, so the Israelis will justifiably continue to
pummel Gaza.
GAZA CITY (AFP) - Israeli aircraft again pounded targets in the
Gaza Strip on Saturday, as the main armed factions discussed a truce call from Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas to end "futile" rocket barrages.
But Hamas put the onus on Israel for any hope of an end to the rocket fire, demanding that it stop shooting first.
And amid the question of presenting a common front toward Israel, a senior Palestinian security chief resigned, underscoring continuing tensions between Abbas's Fatah and Hamas.
At least five Palestinians were killed and eight wounded in four air raids mid-morning on buildings used by the paramilitary Executive Force loyal to senior Palestinian coalition partner Hamas, medical sources said.
