Lull in Gaza Rocket Fire Seen as Temporary
(Reuters) Dan Williams - Most analysts predict that the current lull in rocket fire on Israel is no more than a temporary truce, noting that Hamas and Hizbullah are Iranian-backed Islamists, ideologically driven to fighting the Jewish state. "They are not going to let it rest," said Richard Kemp, a retired British army colonel and former commander of UK forces in Afghanistan. "If this new [Iron Dome missile defense] system is seen to be effective, then Hamas and other extremist groups will do what they can to find other modes of attack."
