As Egypt herocially announces it will not re-open the Rafah crossing until kidnapped IDf soldier Gilad Shalit is returned, Iranian stooges Jihad Islami launch three rockets at civilain targets in Sderot.
Remember: incidents taking place in the West Bank should have no bearing on the Gaza truce at this stage. That's the "deal" with Hamas.

Three Palestinian missiles rip through Gaza truce Tuesday

DEBKAfile’s military sources report powerful explosions rocked Sderot Tuesday, June 24, for the first time in the six days since the Israel-Hamas truce went into effect last Thursday. One injured civilian and three shock victims were treated. At least one missile landed in the backyard of a Sderot house causing heavy damage, a second outside Kibbutz Shear Hanegev.
They were claimed by the Iran-backed Jihad Islami, which vowed to avenge the deaths of two of its operatives, one a senior operations planner, in the West Bank town of Nablus earlier in the day. They were killed by troops of the crack Duvdevan unit troops while resisting arrest.
Our sources report that both the Jihad Islami and Hamas have taken violent action to demonstrate that the Gaza truce does not tie their hands on the West Bank.
Hamas’ military wing claimed the shooting attack on five Israel hikers in a wadi north of Ramallah last Friday, June 20, in which three were injured. Monday after midnight, a mortar shell was fired from Gaza at the Karni goods crossing.
Our counter-terror sources also interpret the surge of Palestinian attacks cutting short an agreed ceasefire after less than a week as a signal to Israeli prime minister Ehud Olmert and Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak - who held talks in Sharm al-Sheik Tuesday - that they are not the ones calling the shots on the ground for the Hamas-ruled the Gaza Strip.
