Hamas Military Wing Says There's No Rocket Truce

Abu 'Ubeida, spokesman for Hamas' military wing 'Izz Al-Din Al-Qassam, has denied that there is an agreement among the Palestinian resistance factions to stop rocket attacks on Israel.

However, Hamas Interior Minister Fathi Hamad reiterated that such an agreement does exist.

Fatah, on its part, stated that Hamas was imposing a rocket truce on the resistance factions but getting nothing in return – thereby giving Israel a free gift.
