Of course, Hamas took advantage of that ceasefire to try to infiltrate into Israel through a tunnel with a band of terrorists before the ceasefire took effect. Unfortunately for them, the Israel Defense Forces were watching. From <a href=\"http:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/world\/2014\/07\/17\/israel-says-it-thwarts-militant-attack-hours-before-start-humanitarian-cease\/\">Fox News<\/a>;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Lerner said the attack &#8220;could have had devastating consequences&#8221; and said the militants were armed with &#8220;extensive weapons,&#8221; including rocket-propelled grenades.<\/p>\n<p>The attack was preceded by a volley of 15 rockets fired from Gaza into central Israel. The Times of Israel reported that IDF spokesman Brig. Gen. Moti Almoz told Israeli television Channel 2 that the rockets were meant to be &#8220;an envelope for this attack.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We knew this would come,&#8221; Almoz said. &#8220;We knew specifically about this tunnel.
