"The Palestinian factions agreed to accept the offer from the United Nations for a cooling-down on the ground for five hours starting from 10 in the morning," he told the news agency.

Shortly before 2:00 a.m. Thursday morning, however, sirens were heard in the Eshkol region, Hof Ashkelon region, Ashdod, Kiryat Gat and Kiryat Malachi.

Sirens were also heard in the Mateh Yehuda Regional Council, near Jerusalem. Three rockets exploded in open regions in the region, causing no physical injuries or damages.

Seven hours to go until 10 am here. Hope the IDF starts observing the humanitarian cease fire exactly on time and not a minute sooner.

Hamas is just buying time to replenish their rocket stockpile—no doubt from Iran. Anytime the enemy agrees to a truce, you know they are doing so in their own self-interest.

Maybe they need time to set up more rockets, so they agreed to a ceasefire.

So these useless degenerate subhuman animals have the money to buy all of these rockets from where?

Direct payments extorted from the American taxpayer by the IRS?

From oil rich ragheads that continue to operate unmolested by the American Government?

Maybe a combination?

The fact is that both Bush and Hussein Baraka were/are compromised and in league with the satanic muhammadan horde.

The hard right has an opportunity in 2016 to destroy the camel jockeys ability to finance their evil acts once and for all.

And clean house domestically while they are at it.
