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.
