The decision to suspend the use of the short-range Qassam rockets that for years have flown into Israel, often dozens a day, has been partly the result of popular pressure. Increasingly, people here are questioning the value of the rockets, not because they hit civilians but because they are seen as relatively ineffective.
“What did the rockets do for us? Nothing,” Mona Abdelaziz, a 36-year-old lawyer, said in a typical street interview here.
How long Hamas will hold its fire and whether it will obtain longer-range missiles — which it says it is seeking — remain unclear...
Unclear?
...A senior Hamas police commander who spoke on condition of anonymity said the focus on culture and away from rockets was appropriate for now. He said Hamas was working on increasing the range of its rockets. But he said: “We have made a decision not to fire. As long as Israel is committed to an unofficial truce, so are we.”...
Lessons?
So, it is populism to kill Jews better. And, they are still preparing their terror capability.

From a former GQ resident:
"Amazingly in my own Netzer Hazani all has been covered with the shifting sands that blow in from local and before that Sahara direction. On a air photo taken by one of our local pilots a few months ago of home, it was seen clearly that Netzer Hazani was again beginning to look like it was when I came there first in 1975 and so report our Arab acquaintances there.
Feels sort of like rabbi akiva and the sages standing on top of mt.scopus and seeing the foxes roaming there and rabbi akiva smiling while other cried. No doubt as our Prophets promised we will get back home and build there anew , I doubt that it will take as long as it has been taking the descendants of rabbi Akiva, for it could easily begin in Netzer hazani and move through all parts of our land and then to the building on the Temple Mount as well.
To build our national Home at the Temple Mt. may take alot of cooperation and coordination with G-d . But to build anew in AZA mainly just takes guts ,OZ as the name AZA (proper pronounciation of gaza) clearly indicates ( which we didn't have enough of right after IDF took hold again of the gaza area during the last recent war .
