A senior Hamas official on Sunday made a rare direct appeal to the Israeli public to halt the current round of cross-border fighting, after a weekend of deadly violence left 19 Palestinians dead.
"We are interested in calm but want the Israeli military to stop its operations," Hamas Deputy Foreign Minister Ghazi Hamad said in an interview on Israel Radio, adding that the group would cease its rocket attacks if Israel halted its military operations against Gaza militants.

Another Palestinian official said that militant groups in the Gaza Strip had agreed to Arab and United Nations proposals for a truce with Israel, and said they were told that Israel had also agreed in principle. Israel had no immediate comment.
Nineteen Palestinian militants and civilians in Hamas Islamist ruled Gaza have been killed sine Israel launched a series of air raids on Thursday after the critical wounding of a teenager by an anti-tank rocket that was fired at a school bus.
Palestinian militants fired approximately 120 rockets and mortars at Israeli communities near the Gaza Strip over the course of the weekend, with tens of thousands of people spending the past few nights in reinforced rooms.

North Korea suspected in blast that sank warship
North Korea has most likely sank a South Korean Naval ship , with a torpedo .
this could get ugly , if a Torpedo is determined the Cause , will South Korea retaliate ?
(Reuters) - The likelihood North Korea sank a South Korean naval ship near their disputed border rose when Seoul said on Friday an external explosion probably caused the ship to split in two, killing dozens.
South Korea's defense minister said this month the 1,200-tonne Cheonan may have been hit by a torpedo, immediately putting suspicion on North Korea and stoking concerns that the incident could start a conflict on the long divided peninsula.
"Conclusively, after a visual inspection, there is a higher chance of an outer explosion than an internal one," Yoon Duk-yong, a top investigation official, told a news conference.
Local media is increasingly pinning the blame on North Korea, in the absence of any other likely reasons for the explosion which sank the corvette late last month, thought to have killed 46 sailors.
Yoon said the twisting of metal from the salvaged stern that was raised on Thursday indicated the blast had come from outside but the team will wait until the rest of the ship was raised and other evidence gathered before reaching a final conclusion.
"The Cheonan was also halved in the middle. Therefore, it is highly likely that a torpedo fired from a submarine or mine
destroyed the ship," military expert and former submarine

Nigeria fighters call off ceasefire
Sounds like a threat to me , But who will go after them ?
In another situation involving "Terrorists" , Nigeria will sit by and wait for them to follow through on their threat !
Al Jazeera
Nigeria's main armed group has called off a three-month-old ceasefire in the Niger delta and threatened to unleash "an all-out assault" on Africa's biggest oil and gas industry.
The Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (Mend), responsible for years of attacks on oil facilities, said on Saturday it could no longer trust the government to negotiate demands for greater control of the region's natural resources.
The threat comes as Umaru Yar'Adua, Nigeria's president, has been out of the country receiving medical treatment for more than two months.
His absence has raised fears of a constitutional and political crisis in the country.
"It is sufficiently clear at this point in time the government of Nigeria has no intentions of considering the demands made by this group for the control of the resources and land," Mend said in a statement.
"All companies related to the oil industry in the Niger delta should prepare for an all-out onslaught against their installations and personnel."

Yemen rebels say air raid kills 120
Accusing the U.S. Of helping out with an Airstrike ? If the U.S. was involved a High Value Target was killed , That would be the only reason we would do this !
Seeing as how a High value target was not mentioned , it is probably unlikely !
But to the Douchbags of Somalia---->( The Cesspool of the World )
"Paybacks are a Bitch !"
SANAA (Reuters) - Yemeni Shi'ite rebels accused the U.S. air force on Tuesday of joining attacks against them, and killing at least 120 people in a raid in the north of the poor Arab state.
"The savage crime committed by the U.S. air force shows the real face of the United States," said the northern rebels, who often report attacks by the Yemeni and Saudi fighter planes, on their website. There was no immediate report of U.S. comment on the alleged incident.
The rebels, who are fighting the Yemeni army and forces of neighboring Saudi Arabia, posted videos on the Internet that appeared to show people trying to clear rubble covering human bodies.
On Sunday, the rebels said at least 70 people had been killed in a Saudi air raid on a market in the northern town of Razeh. The reports could not be verified as aid workers and media have limited access to the conflict zones.
U.S.-allied Saudi Arabia, the world's largest oil exporter, fears the growing instability in neighboring Yemen could turn into a major security threat for the kingdom by allowing al Qaeda to gain a stronger foothold there.

U.N. Probe: Israelis, Palestinians Both Guilty of 'War Crimes'
Really , is not the conclusion of the " useless N" That the Armed Palestinian Groups (Hamas) , Were shooting Unguided Qassam Rockets randomly into Israel , What Israel has been saying from the start ?
Another Priceless U.N Moment !
Fox News....
GENEVA — A U.N. investigation into the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in Gaza has found evidence that both sides committed "war crimes."
The United Nations says the investigation led by former South African judge Richard Goldstone concluded that "Israel committed actions amounting to war crimes, possibly crimes against humanity," during its Dec. 27-Jan. 18 military operations in the Palestinian territories.
The global body said the report released Tuesday "concludes there is also evidence that Palestinian armed groups committed war crimes, as well as possibly crimes against humanity," by firing rockets into southern Israel.
Israel refused to cooperate with the investigation, saying the U.N. Human Rights Council that ordered it was biased against the Jewish state.

Iran says 20 killed in mosque bombing
The one thing that cracks me up about this is that , They actually say that they are trying to start a conflict between shiite and Sunni muslims ! I'm sure it will be Americas fault eventually ! But it goes to show how Stupid things really are In this part of the world !
the L.A.Times....
Reporting from Cairo and Tehran -- An explosion Thursday in a mosque near Iran's southern border with Pakistan killed at least 20 people and probably was carried out by a group seeking to start a war between Shiite and Sunni Muslims, according to Iran's semi-official FARS news agency.
The blast, which also wounded more than 50 worshipers, occurred during evening prayers in the town of Zahedan in Sistan-Baluchistan, a tribal region known for drug smuggling and Islamic extremism. Provincial Gov. Ali Mohammed Azad told the official Islamic Republic News Agency that a terrorist group was involved but gave no details.
Azad was quoted on the website of another state news agency as saying that a militant organization "intended to use the insecure conditions in Afghanistan and Pakistan as the country [Iran] prepares to hold its presidential election."
No group initially claimed responsibility for the assault on the Ali ibne Abitaleb mosque. A second bomb was defused near the building.

Israelis round up Hamas politicians in West Bank
And it just keeps getting better ! Hamas just keeps getting irritated with Israel ,They feel that they don't have to give anything to get what they want . Israel will only take so much . The Fact that Both sides are completely stubborn , fuels the fire that is brewing in the whole situation !
....
RAMALLAH, West Bank (Reuters) - Israeli troops detained 10 Hamas politicians from the occupied West Bank on Thursday in what the Islamist faction called a punitive round-up following Israel's failure to retrieve a captive soldier.
Egyptian efforts to mediate the release of Gilad Shalit, held incommunicado by Hamas in the Gaza Strip since June 2006, collapsed this week when the Israelis ruled out its demand of amnesty for scores of jailed Palestinians militant chiefs.
The impasse prompted a pledge by Israel to press the crippling Gaza blockade, as well as threats to toughen up conditions for some of the 11,000 Palestinians in its prisons.
Thursday's detainees included 4 lawmakers from Hamas, which won a Palestinian election in early 2006 but was shunned by the West for rejecting peace with the Jewish state. Mahmoud Abbas, the U.S.-backed Palestinian president, dissolved a government alliance with Hamas when it seized control of Gaza in 2007.
"Israel's arrests of Hamas leaders and lawmakers in the West Bank is an attempt to blackmail the resistance and achieve gains in the prisoner case," Hamas said in a statement.
"It shows the bankruptcy of the enemy. We call on the resistance factions to stick to their conditions in any prisoner exchange that will be discussed."

As usual the cease fire ,ceased to exist! what was it ? almost six months !
The Palestinians started off with some of their puny rockets , then Israel fired back with some Bigtime Airstrikes! Its like they never even had a time out!!!

GAZA CITY, Gaza (CNN) -- Israel launched an airstrike against Islamic militants in northern Gaza Wednesday night after rockets were fired into Israel, the Israel Defense Forces said. The IDF targeted a rocket-launching squad in northern Gaza's Jebaliya camp, a spokesman said.
Palestinian security sources told CNN there were two Israeli airstrikes, though the IDF confirmed only one. The Palestinian sources said the first strike hit a group of Islamic Jihad militants, killing one and injuring three. The second, about five minutes later, tageted the rocket-launching squad, the sources said.
Forty rockets were fired from Gaza into southern Israel between Tuesday night and Wednesday morning, an IDF spokesman said. Initial reports gave a lower number of missiles. Israeli police said one rocket was fired into the Israeli coastal city of Ashkelon, but there were no reports of injuries or damage.
Wednesday's airstrike reports and the rocket fire came after Israel launched an airstrike Tuesday night in southern Gaza and clashed with Hamas militants in central Gaza, Palestinian sources and the IDF said. Tuesday's clashes and airstrike killed a total of five militants, Palestinian sources said.
Four people were killed in Tuesday's airstrike, which targeted an area east of Khan Younis, Palestinian sources said. They said a drone and an Apache helicopter were seen.
Before Tuesday night's airstrike, fighting between Hamas militants and Israel Defense Forces killed one militant and injured three. The fighting occurred after dark, when Israeli troops entered the eastern part of the Dir Albalah refugee camp in central Gaza, Palestinian sources said.
The IDF said it launched a small operation Tuesday evening after its forces uncovered a "ready-to-be-used tunnel" several meters from a security fence. The IDF said the tunnel -- dug from a civilian home -- was meant for abducting Israeli soldiers.
Palestinian sources said the Israelis blew up a tunnel during the operation.
The IDF said it exchanged fire with militants during the operation, which it said lasted a few hours.
