In an interview with German reporters in Berlin, Israel's Prime Minister, Ehud Olmert said that it was harder and harder not to respond to Palestinian breaches of the ceasefire.
Yesterday, five Qassam rockets were launched from the Gaza Strip aimed at the Israeli city of Sderot. The rockets landed in open territory and caused no harm or injuries. Since the beginning of the ceasefire 23 rockets were launched by Palestinian militants from Gaza at Israel.
When asked whether Israel will respond, Olmert replied that he was aware how easy it would be to silde into overall violence and that was why Israel was restraining herself.
Olmert is visiting Germany as part of an all European diplomatic tour.
