Brigadier General Yossi Baidatz said Tuesday that during the tahadiyeh period of calm, in which Hamas has agreed to suspend actual attacks against Israel in exchange for Israel suspending military operations targeting Hamas terrorists, Hamas will continue to smuggle weapons into Gaza, and further develop its terrorist infrastructure and capabilities.

A Hamas spokesman announced Tuesday that Hamas will comply with the time Egypt has announced for the ceasefire to begin, but that Hamas can not ensure the compliance of any other organization.
