All this is with ordinary Palestinian and Israeli people stuck in the middle being killed left, right and centre.
There were reports in the media (including the BBC unsurprisingly) that the Hamas attacks were a response to Israeli incursions which occured before the cease fire expired. Now this seems very suspicious with the upcoming elections. Was this due to the Israelis stirring up trouble knowing that Hamas would respond or is it perhaps the spectre of creative journalism? I guess we'll never know as very few sections of the media can be trusted.

They probably borrowed that tactic from the US, the US has a history of provoking wars.
