"Israel did not participate in that cease fire. Only Hamas did."
"While Hamas was unilaterally engaging in a cease fire, Israel had continued bombing occupied Palestine and had killed quite a few civilians as well as Hamas members in their campaign of assassinating Hamas members."

About 200 rockets fired into Israel from Gaza during that ceasefire? (not claimed by Hamas) Hamas in control should have stopped the militants within Gaza from firing rockets, instead they actively supported them behind the cover of the official Hamas ceasefire, and in doing so made themselves targets for reprisal and assassination. Surely Did they didn't expect Israel to just sit back and take it - for how long?
