Hours before the ceasefire with Hamas was due to end, Kassam rockets continued to hit Sderot and areas in the Negev on Thursday. In Sderot, residents accused the government of abandonning them. Fed up with having to live with the constant threat daily, they called on the government to act and halt the rocket attacks once and for all. Hamas officials in Gaza declared they have no interest in extending the ceasefire with Israel whom they blamed for bringing about its collapse. Residents in Gaza echoed similar sentiments.In Gaza it appears the armed terrorists dictate the daily agenda for their people, apparantly the last thing they appear to have on their minds is seeking peace.12/18/08
