What is a 'limited truce'?

I'm not quite sure. But it sounds better than whatever you call the situation in Israel/Palestine now.

The "limitation" seems to be that Hamas will limit its attacks to non-civilians (ie. only settlers and soldiers) in return for Israel not targeting their leaders. In other words, Hamas has been reading InstantReplay, and realized that they've been going about this all wrong. Unfortunately, Arik Sharon's internet connection doesn't seem to be working, and Israel refuses to accept any truce with Hamas, "as it would allow the organizations to regroup. Prime Minister Ariel Sharon has insisted that Abu Mazen crack down on militant groups, disarm cells and imprison leaders." Sharon makes me so mad.
