Rocket hits southern Israel

For the first time in 2015, red alert siren sounds in Sderot and other Gaza border communities; rocket hits open field in Sh'ar HaNegev Regional Council; no injuries or damages reported.

So much for the ceasefire.

Of course, the ceasefire isn't broken until Israel strikes back.

why it's perfectly okay for hamas to be breaking the ceasefire as well as the OUTRAGEOUS OUTRAGE when Israel strikes back.

Hamas is the government, so they are responsible. Either they authorized the attack or they failed to prevent it.

Responsible governments control the weapons of war on their territory. As far as price tag terrorists, if the Israeli government looks the other way or doesn't do what it can do to try and locate and prosecute the perpetrators, then Israel is responsible for that.
