Palestinians Talk Ceasefire, Fire Two Missiles
Ryan R. Jones - All Headline News Correspondent Jerusalem, Israel (AHN) - Palestinian terrorists operating out of the Gaza Strip fired two Grad-class Katyusha missiles into Israel Monday morning, even as Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh spoke of desiring a ceasefire with Israel. Speaking to Ha'aretz, Haniyeh said his government has "no qualms about negotiating with Israel," and is ready to enter into a long-term truce involving all Palestinian terror groups." He said the only reason calm had yet to take hold was Israel's policy of aggression. But from Gaza, it was Haniyeh's constituents who continued to perpetrate violence on southern Israel, hitting the heart of the coastal town of Ashkelon and the nearby village of Netiv Ha'asara. No one was injured by the Katyushas, which scarred buildings and cars with thousands of ball bearings. Islamic Jihad, a group allied with Haniyeh's Hamas, claimed credit for the attacks. Israel responded with a pinpoint air strike on the source of the fire, which military officials say killed the rocket crew as it returned for the launcher. Palestinians claimed the fatalities were three farmers.
