Although Israel has continued it’s blockade of Gaza Strip the Israeli government is attempting to blame Hamas for breaking the ceasefire.

Israel mounts PR campaign to blame Hamas for Gaza destruction:

Stung by the wave of international criticism earlier this year when Israel invaded Gaza to stop militants firing rockets, in an operation dwarfed by its current attack, Israel decided to go on the offensive.

“In the past our prime minister received phone calls from high-ranking officials and politicians. When he said, ‘Surely you understand about the rocket fire’, they said, ‘What are you talking about?’” foreign ministry spokesman Yigal Palmor said.

According to The Guardian Israel has also now banned foreign journalists:

Israel yesterday banned foreign journalists from entering Gaza. Israeli journalists have been banned for more than two years.
