-- GAZA -- The renewed violence quickly undermined Tuesday night's attempt to broker a ceasefire, the third such truce brokered since the violence first flared at the weekend.I just love the last paragraph here.
Both previous agreements, which have been brokered with Egyptian assistance, lasted little more than a few hours.
The latest accord floundered almost immediately. An Egyptian diplomat was shot in the hand, reportedly as he walked along a Gaza street to test whether gunmen were sticking to the deal.
Gotta wonder if Egyptians use a similar technique for testing driver compliance with traffic lights.
