Israel declares ceasefire in Gaza
Israel is to halt its three-week military offensive against Hamas militants in the Gaza Strip, Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has said.
Israel had achieved the aims of its operation, Mr Olmert said, and a unilateral Israeli ceasefire would take effect from 0200 (2400 GMT).
Earlier, a Hamas spokesman said it would fight until its demands were met.
Nearly 1,200 Palestinians have been killed since the violence began on 27 December. Thirteen Israelis have died.
Minutes before Mr Olmert was due to speak, a rocket was fired from Gaza, a BBC producer in Gaza said.

Maybe Mossad will finish the work in a real quiet non-public kind of way.

“Egypt will on Sunday host a summit, attended by Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas, the UN chief and several EU leaders, aimed at securing a permanent truce.”
Wondering if Israel might be included in such a Summit? Perhaps Israel might have something to add to the discussion.
Just like when you go to the rifle range. All the targets have been hit, you need to put up new targets and reload.
You call out "cease fire !!"
Once your targets are up and your up and loaded..... "Clear on the right, Clear on the Left... Clear on the firing line.... commence firing"...
More Hamas ground beef. I still want the video of the Hamas "leader" who had his head fly out the window of his house after it was hit. PRICELESS!
Thanks for the ping!
Hamas’ attitude is all wrong. They are giving Israel a week to leave, when they should be surrendering.
Without regime change in Gaza, a cease-fire is worthless. Israel should take over Gaza.
Cut off electricity, food, water, any type of aid or supplies going over or under the wall. Jam transmissions. Cut off the city completely
Starve the people until they hate Hamas and kill them in the streets and are willing to live in peace or perish.
Yes, it's brutal and medieval, but ever time Israel backs off they lose incrementally
Thanks justiceseeker93.
