I previously posted that I thought the truce might last perhaps 12 months. I thought that Hamas might pretend to play well with others while they rearmed and re-fortified. I was wrong. They killed one Israeli soldier, wounded 3 others, breaking the truce within a week..

Israel has retaliated, and, it appears will retaliate for each breach. No mulligans this time 'round. (For you non-golfers, a mulligan is the equivalent of a free pass or a free shot.)
