"The ceasefire agreement between Israel and Palestinian factions became effective at 6 a.m. on Sunday morning and the IDF withdrew its forces from the Gaza Strip. The Palestinian offer was accepted by Israel on Saturday night, and is set to halt operations in Gaza in return for an end to all Palestinian violence, including rocket fire, tunneling and suicide bombers, the Prime Minister’s Office announced."
No mention of releasing Cpl. Gilad Shalit, however, captive of the terrorists in Gaza for five months.
UPDATE The rockets continue to fall on Israeli towns, particularly Sderot, and no surprise there. And the PM is urging restraint by the IDF. No surprise there, either. The restraint is always one-sided, and can’t last forever.
