Gaza Militants Ready for End of Truce with Israel
[AP/Washington Post] Diaa Hadid and Ibrahim Barzak - In Gaza City, masked Palestinian gunmen practice capturing Israeli soldiers, training videos show how to make grenades, and rocket squads fire daily at Israeli border towns. It looks like a warm-up for battle. Gaza's Islamic Hamas rulers say a six-month cease-fire with Israel formally ends Friday. During the truce, Hamas has been smuggling weapons through tunnels under the Gaza-Egypt border. Hamas militants are also believed to be burrowing tunnels into Israel to carry out attacks.
