Osama Hamdan, Hamas Official, said, "I think it's not a declaration of cease-fire, it's a declaration of Israeli failure in the military operation. Their only success was the killing of the civilians, hundreds of children were killed, hundreds of women were killed, and they couldn't achieve any important target as they said."

Hamas says the continued presence of Israeli troops in Gaza will lead to more clashes. Meanwhile, Gaza militants report they launched eight rockets into Israel around the time Olmert first announced the cease-fire late on Saturday evening. So far, there have been no reports of casualties.
