Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu and war minister Moshe Yaalon directed their army to resume the round of airstrikes on the Gaza Strip under pretext of Hamas rejection of ceasefire proposals. Israeli military reporter working for Channel 2, Roni Daniel, quoted a political Israeli source as claiming: Hamas rockets came as a response to the cease-fire initiative. The Israeli Yediot Ahronot newspaper said, quoting a military source, the fire-backs of the Palestinian resistance have become just unbearable. Al-Qassam Brigades vowed to stand their ground against Israeli raids on Gaza civilians. No official party or mediator has consulted us over the alleged ceasefire bid, al-Qassam statement pointed out. If what has been circulated is true, this initiative means kneeling and submissiveness and so we firmly refuse it. To us its not even worth the ink used in writing it. We will remain forever faithful to the blood of our martyrs. The Islamic Jihad Movement slammed the Egyptian ceasefire truce as one that is not up to the aspirations and needs of the Palestinian people and resistance. We will continue to defend our people against such a wave of Israeli aggressions...No party or person will force our Al-Quds Brigades to adopt such a truce tender, they said. The Bridges spokesperson Abu Ahmad said the initiatives have not been serious so far. The popular resistance committees said any truce agreement should be signed following the terms set by the Palestinian resistance, calling on the Arab and Muslim masses to rally round the Palestinians throughout their fight for freedom. The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine said Abbass adoption of the initiative is a unilateral act of decision-making.
