Palestinian Militants Call Off Truce
(Telegraph-UK) Harry de Quetteville - Palestinian armed groups ended a year-long truce with Israel Sunday in a move which could lead to new violence. Islamic Jihad marked the end of the truce, which it has barely observed, by firing rockets at Israel from Gaza. Hamas too officially ended its truce, but analysts say it is unlikely to make an immediate return to violence because it hopes to do well in elections at the end of the month. The Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigade, the armed wing of Abbas's Fatah movement, also said it was ending the truce and claimed joint responsibility for the rocket attacks with Islamic Jihad.
