Palestinians Predict End of Gaza Ceasefire
[BBC News-UK] Omar (not his real name) teaches English at a school for much of the day, but he is also training to be a fighter too. He is part of a movement allied to Hamas which is widely held responsible for the killing, five years ago, of three Americans who were part of a convoy driving into Gaza to offer scholarships to local youngsters. The group also played a part in the raid, by tunnel, into an Israeli army camp near the border, when a young Israeli soldier, Gilad Shalit, was captured and dragged back inside the Gaza Strip. He is still in captivity. The men here say they are itching to attack the Israelis again. "The ceasefire won't last much longer," predicts Omar.
