Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said there will be no cease-fire, adding that "

Prime Minister Ehud Olmert had agreed to a 48-hour cease-fire beginning at 2 a.m. Monday while the military concluded its inquiry into the attack on the south Lebanese village of Qana, Israel's deadliest strike in nearly three weeks of fighting.
