The truce with Hamas is dependent on the cessation of Kassam rockets fired from the Gaza Strip, according to Amos Gilad, the head of the Defense Ministry's Diplomatic-Security Bureau. In an interview with Army Radio Wednesday, Gilad threatened that "if [firing of Kassam rockets] continues, it will constitute a violation of the cease-fire, and the IDF is also prepared for [this situation], regardless of where the Kassams come from, from Hamas or Islamic Jihad."
