Rockets every day—what cease fire?

There’s a cease fire? Really?

A Qassam rocket fired by Palestinians in north Gaza Thursday morning exploded in the yard of a home in the western Negev town of Sderot. No injuries were reported, but a woman and her son were treated for shock, and two adjoining homes sustained minor damage.

The Color Red siren, which warns residents of incoming projectiles, sounded in Sderot and surrounding communities at around 8:30 am; the rocket fired at Sderot landed shortly thereafter, and another Qassam fired by Palestinian gunmen landed near Sderot’s industrial zone, causing no injuries or damage.

Check out Elder’s February rocket calendar to see how well the “truce” is working. So far, only 20 of the 26 days of February had rocket attacks in them. So the “shaky” truce must be working.

Oh, wait. It’s not a stable truce. That explains it.

Militants in Gaza launched rockets at southern Israel on Wednesday and Israeli planes attacked smuggling tunnels as a stable truce between the two sides remained elusive.

Militants fired two rockets early in the day and Israeli aircraft struck tunnels in the southern Gaza town of Rafah several hours later, the Israeli military said.

There were no injuries reported in either the rocket attacks or the airstrike.

But at least the AP got the order of events right this time.

So, um—what was that Gaza offensive for again? To end rocket attacks against southern Israel? Because hey, Israel—I don’t think it worked.

Update: Now firing rockets at civilians is called “low-level violence.”

Low-level violence has marred the Jan. 18 cease-fire. On Thursday, militants fired two rockets at southern Israel and Israel later sent aircraft to raid southern Gaza. Hamas said the aircraft targeted smuggling tunnels. No injuries were reported in the rocket attacks or the air strike.

Just when you think the AP can’t get any lower, you find out that yes, they can.

Update two: CNN says it’s more than 100 rockets and shells since the so-called cease-fire.
