Soon after Hamas declared an end to its unilateral cease-fire. Though Israeli officials might scoff at that statement - given the involvement of Hamas leaders in many previous rocket attacks against Israel from inside Gaza - the prospect of Hamas resuming terror attacks and Israeli plans for a broad offensive in northern Gaza suggest that a new wave of violence and political instability...
