Cease Fire

Israel has declared a unilateral ten-day cease fire in Gaza. Prime Minister Olmert says the objectives of the operation have been met “in full.” The IDF will remain in Gaza for the time being to discourage Hamas from resuming rocket attacks. Hamas, naturally, says that it will not respect the cease fire.

We will soon find out, I suppose, how thoroughly Hamas’s capabilities have been degraded.
