Since the since the ceasfire set in June, last night (tuesday November 4), Israel carried out an air strike in Gaza. Five Hamas militants were killed. The attack coming after a clash between Israeli soldiers and Hamas gunmen shot along the Gaza border. The truce between both sides have been generally kept, with the execption of some renegade hamas soldier launching mortars into Israeli territory. Also, Israel has accused Hamas of taking advantage of the ceasefire to stock up on arms and personel. However, both sides have expressed content with the ceasefire and seek to extent it longer than its original six month term.
