Defense Ministry political-security director Amos Gilad warned Gaza terrorists Wednesday morning that the proposed truce with Hamas will be considered broken if any terrorist fires a rocket on Israel. He told Army Radio it will not matter "from where the Kassam is fired and whether it is launched by Hamas or Islamic Jihad."

Cabinet Minister Shaul Mofaz, when he was Defense Minister three years ago, issued similar warnings, saying that Israel would retaliate strongly "if even one rocket is fired" after the expulsion of Jews and the IDF withdrawal from Gaza.
