Break the Peace, Suffer the Closing

Because Hamas shot rockets on southern Israel on the 6th day of a peace agreement, Israel has shut down three of the border crossings that lead out of Gaza, but kept the northern one open for goods to get through.

Hamas replied that they are not about to police the militants.

If Hamas, which is a terrorist group, is not about to police their own terrorists, then Israel has to do something. Perhaps peer pressure will force them to straighten up and follow orders. They had four crossings open and Israel was about to do more.

The rockets were fired just after Egypt and Israel had met to discuss deepening the truce by talking about prisoner exchanges.
