Fuses in Gaza
[Washington Post] Jackson Diehl - At Annapolis it was easy to forget that Israel is at war with the winners of the last Palestinian general election, and that rockets fired by Palestinians are detonating in southern Israel nearly every day. The Islamic Hamas movement spent the week of Annapolis quietly doing what it has been doing every week for the past six months: smuggling tons of explosives, rifles, rocket-propelled grenades, anti-aircraft missiles and Katyusha rockets through tunnels from the Sinai peninsula in Egypt. Israeli-Palestinian history tells that a single Kassam rocket hit on an Israeli school or refinery could be enough to derail the fragile Annapolis initiative.
