Israeli Troops Kill 2 Hamas Militants in Gunbattle

Israeli troops killed two Hamas militants in a gunbattle in the northern Gaza Strip on Wednesday, the radical Islamic group said.
The Israeli army said two gunmen barricaded themselves inside a house in Beit Hanoun and exchanged fire with soldiers, but it could not confirm the deaths.

Just heard on Fox news, Hamas and Islamic Jihad have agreed to a 3 month cease fire. I don't buy it. Why 3 months? Why not forever?? Wouldn't matter anyway, they are not going to be satisfied until all Israelis are dead and this will just get the pressure off of them while they regroup and figure out ways to make themselves less vulnerable to the IDS.

Update....Palestinians said that report was premature. No agreement at this point.

Couple of dead Hamas.......that's good news.

Bad news: A bus load of Hamas went off a cliff....................with one empty seat. :(
