    Hamas: Ceasefire 'Tactic' Likely to End in January

    Hamas said that that it would probably end its “tahadiya” ceasefire and begin attacking Israel on a more regular basis after mid-January, six months after the deal went into effect. A Hamas terrorist official said that the ceasefire was not a permanent feature of its policy, but rather a tactic. “As we define it, a ceasefire is an opportunity for the fighter to rest, to prepare and rearm for the new battles that will lead to the complete liberation of all the land of Palestine,” the spokesperson said.

    Hamas is also demanding that Egypt release a top organization terrorist who was arrested after he planned to carry out attacks in the country. If Egypt does not release the terrorist, Ayman Nofal, Hamas said it would put into a “deep freeze” negotiations to released kidnapped IDF soldier Gilad Shalit.
