There was a 5 hour humanitarian ceasefire this morning - 10am to 3pm - during which the Israelis stopped all military activities directed at the Gaza Strip. Israel has kept its crossings with Gaza open throughout the conflict - 605 truckloads of goods have arrived since the start of the operation - and the ceasefire was part and parcel of those effects. At 12:03pm Palestinians broke the ceasefire by firing three mortars at Israeli civilians. They then launched massive barrages at 3pm sharp (NYT: Rockets from the Gaza Strip soared into Israel starting at 3 p.m. Thursday, precisely marking the designated end of the five-hour halt to hostilities).
