As I wrote earlier, Israel's self-imposed unilateral cease fire went into effect at 2 o'clock this morning. Within minutes 2 rockets were fired at the Israeli cities of Ashdod and Ashkelon. Between 8 and 9:30 this morning another 6 rockets were fired into Israel. There have been several reports of exchanges of gun fire.
The army has been given orders that they can fire on the enemy if the enemy fires first, but we are not to initiate any actions. Our blowhard PM also said last night that if rockets were fired into Israel we would react harshly. Since there have been at least 8 rockets since then, I guess my definition of "harsh" is different than his. The air force did fire at the areas where the rockets were fired from, but nothing more than that.
Two hundred trucks of food and medical supplies are on their way to the northern crossing point into Gaza. Israel is also setting up a field hospital/clinic in Gaza to provide medical care for the citizens of Gaza. It will be supplied and staffed by Israel, many of them volunteers.
