Hamas chief Khaled Mashaal announced in a press conference Wednesday evening that Israel "has failed in all its goals" in Operation Defensive Pillar, following the cease fire announcement.
"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.
Heavy celebratory gunfire could be heard throughout Gaza, and residents also released fireworks into the night sky, where Israeli drones could still be buzzing heard overhead. .....

All they’ve done is allowed the Muzzies time to rearm and redirect their murderous hordes. Wipe them out!
Again, factoring in those who do not live in Palestine or Israel is foolish. But even if you did, your numbers aren't even close.
There are approximately 2.2 Billion muslims in the world.
According to 2010 estimates, there are approximately 810 million Jews.
That comes out to about 2.7 muslims to every Jew, which hardly gets even close to your overstated "hundreds to 1" comparison.
Again, that is all meaningless because the Israelis outnumber Palestinians 40-1, which means the loss to the Palestinians is far greater than the scant few suffered by the Israelis. That number is, in fact, for every 15 Palestinian terrorists dead there is only 1 Israeli.
We didn’t just lose America this year, we lost the world.
Where is that ship from Iran with weapons aboard?
What does Gaza need these weapons for.
Will it dock and offload new weapons to the Gaza Strip?
New rockets will be launched this peace will not last.
These idiots declare victory, how many civilians lives were lost because radicals decided to start a conflict?
If it happens again the IDF needs to sweep GAZA!
We’ll see about this so called victory??????
Muslims celebrated in this country too, but strangely, the media didn’t care to document it.
Of course not, did not tie into their agenda showing the Muslims what they really are..the lib media loves the Muslims because they hate America just as much as they do
Most sources that I have read/heard seem to think the Israel and Gaza each got a number of things they were after. The surprise is that Morsi did not take an extreme anti Israel position as many have feared given his Muslim Brotherhood connections. If Egypt applied any pressure/strong persuasion, Gaza had to listen as its friend Syria is rather distracted for the moment and likely to remain so.
Agit-Propaganda. Israel is showing so much restraint. The world would not allow it but they could drive all of Hamas into the Mediterranean Sea, the ones they did not outright kill, in a matter of a week or so if they chose.
"Even I cannot believe this CRAP!!"
Israel did well out of this.
The Iron Dome system got some extremely valuable calibration over the past days.
Plus all that free advertising to Nations that are looking for their own missile defense system and have deep checkbooks.
Palis always do this after they get their asses kicked. Survival is victory in their muddled thinking.
That said, I do wish Bibi had pressed into Gaza and taken out the weaponry. This is going to replay again soon.
The Dodd chair (Thomas, not Chris) at the U of Conn. keeps the stats on Jews. Go to the following link, then click on world population for the pdf:
http://www.jewishdatabank.org/
In 2010 the worldwide est. Jewish population was 13.5 million.
I don’t know where the claimed stat of 810 mil could possibly have come from.
?????????????????????????????
I just finished listening to a lefty-slanted teevee news broadcast about this. I don’t normally listen to the teevee but this was in the lobby of a motel where I was having breakfast.
At least they let an Israeli guy tell his side, which of course was that the barrage of rockets was unprovoked. (I know of nothing specific that led to it, not even a Pallie demand. They just started shooting out of the blue. And shoot yeah, Israel has every right to answer that with hell fire.) Israel is insisting that the terrorism be dismantled before peace can be negotiated. The fools in Gaza are partying, but for the wrong reason. If they were sane they might be tickled that the idiot rocketeers were stomped and stopped. But unless they themselves are willing to put a lid on that sort of thing, there won’t be any peace.
13.5 million sounds pretty little to me. Even the US alone boasts millions of Jews. Maybe that’s only the deeply religious ones.
Blame America first?
