Israel is pressuring Hamas to stop mortar fire from the Strip with its first air strike on the tunnels in two months. Hamas's military wing, the al-Qassam brigades and the other main armed reistance group , Islamic Jihad, have observed a ceasefire since the war although fire has continued sporadically from other factions.
The military action came as Netanyahu spoke to settlers who had been forced out of Gaza - and no doubt the sound of explosions in Gaza will have made his job easier.
Alongside the air strike - from which there have been no direct casualties, although 11 people have been killed in tunnel collapses over the past two weeks - Israel is stepping up its propaganda campaign against the Hamas government with the 'news' that fighters against the occupation of Iraq are heading to Gaza.
