Hamas cease-fire update

Remember that cease-fire in Israel? Let's check up on the Palestinians' end of the bargain:
Four Israelis were slightly injured by an anti-tank rocket near Rafah in the Gaza Strip on Sunday. In violence late Sunday, Israel Defense Forces soldiers shot and wounded two Palestinians near Ramallah. The military said they were throwing firebombs at an Israeli vehicle. The four Israelis, employees of a company contracted by the Defense Ministry, were working on fencing along the Philadelphi Route when the rocket hit. They were taken to Soroka Medical Center in Be'er Sheva suffering from bruising and ringing in their ears. Two mortars were also fired at the Gaza settlement bloc of Gush Katif on Sunday. There were no injuries. In the West Bank, IDF troops arrested a 17-year-old Palestinian armed with a Molotov cocktail near Bethlehem.
Yeah, nothing says "we're responsible enough for an independent state" like a bottle full of gasoline.
