Mideast ceasefire comes undone
Description
A ceasefire comes undone after violence between Israel and Gaza militants flares anew Sunday.
Earlier Egypt said it brokered a truce to end attacks that have killed 10 Palestinian gunmen and an Israeli civilian during the past five days.
SOUNDBITE: Islamic Jihad spokesperson Abu Ahmed, saying (Arabic):
"We in Islamic Jihad have accepted the Egyptian mediation. We accepted the truce under the condition that if the (Israeli) aggression is stopped, we will abide by it with calm. If the enemy attacks or breaks any of the conditions that we have agreed upon today, the Islamic Jihad militant group will react as it did yesterday. If there is truce, we will be silent. If they attack, we will react."
All appeared quiet until Israeli aircraft attacked Palestinian militants who the Israeli military said were about to fire rockets from the southern Gaza Strip.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told his cabinet there was no ceasefire.

"I promise here that the other side will pay heavier prices than it did so far, until it stops shooting. There is no ceasefire. The Israeli Defense Forces will protect the residents of southern Israel and eliminate the rocket launchers," Netanyahu said.
On Sunday a funeral service was held for an Israeli man who was killed in a rocket attack earlier in the week.
The violence comes after weeks of a relative quiet surrounding a prisoner swap in which Israel released 477 Palestinian prisoners in exchange for an Israeli soldier.
