"After eight days, God stayed their hand from the people of Gaza, and they were compelled to submit to the conditions of the resistance," Mashaal said. "Israel has failed in all its goals," he told reporters in a Cairo hotel.

Mashaal also thanked ceasefire mediator Egypt, as well as Iran, which he said "had a role in arming" Hamas during the conflict.

Arabs in Gaza took to the streets to celebrate the start of the truce deal, firing into the air and chanting victory slogans, AFP reported.

The celebrations began shortly after the 9:00 p.m. deadline for the ceasefire to begin, agreed in a deal between Israel and Hamas that was announced in Egypt.

Has there been yet another leak of lethal stupid gas in the world? There is an unlimited supply, it seems, and they don't make pipes the way they used to.

Israel should have never disengaged from the Gaza strip.

Not only are these people evil, sick and twisted; but they are also completely delusional.
Pray for peace, real peace.

The muslim terrorist group has claimed 76 people have been killed in Gaza during the recent hostilities and more than 660 were injured.

Compared to a total of 5 Israelis dead and 69 wounded.

Yup, that's quite a victory.

Hamas is always celebrating..I remember on 9/11 when they passed out candy in the streets to the kids when the towers fell..these are the vermin we are dealing with..I would have never agreed to a cease fire, especially after they blew up a bus in Tel Aviv..they will just stock pile rockets again, it will never end til every single one of those cockroaches are destroyed

Yup, Egypt thinks they won the last war too...they even celebrate it every year.

The proof that they did not win that war is the fact that Israel still exists.

Looks like Benghazi Experts, Obama and H. Clinton, have been successful in getting their terrorist enlistment drive off to a good start.

I think that when Obama promised “shovel ready” jobs, he was referring to mass graves.... they’re coming.

**WHO in the hell gave the damn order to NOT rescue our men in Benghazi?**

It wouldn’t matter if they killed the terrorists and left one person alive, they would still claim victory. All Israel has to do is wait until Hamas eventually sends another rocket over and then go smash them again.

Victory? Israel is still on the map, and Jerusalem is still her capital. How well is that Hamas cesspool in Gaza doing?

Hamas reminds me of the old poem about the signifying Monkey, which I cannot post because of the language. For brave hearts you can google the Signifying Monkey. Some of you will already be familiar with it. "The monkey said to the lion, don't you roar. I'll come down out of this tree and kick your big A$$ some more.
