Cease ceasefire

When the Palestinians respond it's terrorism, when the Israelis respond it's justified action. The by-line reads "Ceasefire threatened by Palestinian mortar attack on Israel". Further on in the guff report we read "The rocket attacks followed a clash in which Israeli forces killed two Palestinians, including an Islamic Jihad commander, in the West Bank city of Nablus, in the first fatal raid since the ceasefire."
(Yes, it's obvious and unsurprising, but it still needs to be said every so often).

'Israel threatens ceasefire with raid into West Bank' - why not put that - we wonder ironically.
