Reuters Palestinian propagandist Nidal al-Mughrabi shamelessly promotes a Big Lie—that Hamas has been observing an utterly nonexistent “cease-fire” and that Israel has violated it: Hamas fires rockets into Israel despite truce.

GAZA (Reuters) - Hamas’s armed wing broke a five-month ceasefire on Tuesday by firing rockets into Israel from the Gaza Strip after Israeli forces killed nine Palestinians over the weekend.

Hamas stopped short of declaring a formal end to the ceasefire, which began in November, and said the group was responding to Israeli violations of the shaky agreement.

The BBC, of course, echoes the lie: Hamas fighters end Israel truce.

The armed wing of the Palestinian Hamas movement has said it is ending its five-month truce with Israel.

Earlier in the day the group launched a sustained barrage of rockets and mortars into Israel, the first such attack since November.

The group, the Izzedine al-Qassam Brigades, said the attacks were in revenge for recent killings of Palestinians by Israeli forces.

Here’s the truth that the media is concealing from you: Straining a ‘Ceasefire’?

This April alone, the following�incidents illustrate that the media’s impression�that Israel shattered the calm is anything but accurate:

* Islamic Jihad terrorist captured near Tel Aviv after his bomb belt fails to detonate
* Palestinian bride arrested on suspicion of planning to carry out suicide bombing
* 3 Israelis injured in shooting attack near Modi’in
* Hamas calls for further kidnappings of Israeli soldiers
* Israeli cars shot at in West Bank
* Israeli civilian wounded in West Bank drive-by shooting
* Arrests prevent huge Hamas-planned car bomb in Tel Aviv
* Egypt arrests would-be Hamas suicide bomber near Israeli border
* Palestinian rockets hit Sderot home; several Israelis treated for shock

We urge our readers to look beyond the pages of their local newspapers and keep abreast of the�actions that Palestinian terror organizations continue to attempt against Israeli�civilians.
