Leaders of Gaza’s militant groups convened in Cairo Sunday to discuss a possible cease-fire with Israel, according to an Islamic Jihad official.
Just a short while later reports emerged of the meeting, two mortar shells were fired at Eshkol Regional Council, and Palestinian sources in Gaza reported airstrikes had resumed.
According to sources, seven people were injured in an Air Force bombing of a Hamas outpost. A training camp belonging to Al-Ahrar Brigades was also bombed, as well as an open area near Nuseirat refugee camp, reports say. No casualties were reported in the latter strikes.
In online messages published in forums linked to Hamas and Fatah, the Gaza Strip government allegedly informed all Palestinian factions about a lull agreement, calling them to stop firing at Israel, which reportedly goes into effect on 9 pm Sunday.
According to Islamic Jihad official Ahmed Mudalal, the discussions were based on a lull agreement draft sent by United Nations envoy to the Middle East Robert Serry. Mudalal clarified that the Palestinian factions do not plan on handing Israel a lull agreement “free of charge,” adding they will demand an immediate halt to Israel attacks in Gaza.
“The Islamic Jihad, as well as the rest of the Palestinian factions, are trying to spare our people from the agony of war,” emphasized Mudalal. “However if it’s enforced upon them, then the people must show patience and the resistance must protect ithem with all its might.”

So this is going to be another “We get to shoot and you don’t” cease-fire?
what i don’t understand is as follows , how come Israel does not carpet bomb a section in Gaza to show them what happens when you try to terrorize plain people
hmm let’s see what Israel does now (hopefully keep on bombing them)
