Hamas treachery results in resumption of Israel offensive

Jerusalem Post:
Hamas asks for new 24-hour truce in Gaza after breaking previous cease-fire
...
The order to resume the Gaza offensive came from Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon after some 25 rockets were fired from Gaza Sunday despite Israel's agreement to extend a UN humanitarian cease-fire. 
"Yet again Hamas is cynically exploiting the residents of Gaza in order to use them as human shields. Hamas first rejected the Egyptian cease-fire initiative and afterwards violated last week's UN humanitarian truce. It later violated the Red Cross humanitarian truce and has rebuffed the UN request for a humanitarian truce in order to allow the residents of Gaza to prepare for Eid al-Fitr," a government statement said.
...
It is easy to understand why there is little trust of Hamas and its affiliated groups.  I see little reason to give them a break from the fighting they started and restarted.
