,The Israeli army declared a ceasefire and a 'victory' likewise the Hammas. It seems the whole thing is back to square one, because the crossings into Gaza are still closed and rockets can still be fired. People are still held in Gaza under siege without proper access to outside world.
Despite Hammas declaring victory that they can withstand such intensive 22 day operations, the death toll came up past 1300 people with more than 5000 injured. Today the ceasefire has meant it was safe for people to go outside, they have gone back to their houses in Gaza, many found rubble with neighbourhoods totally destroyed.
There were reports from Israeli military radio that the Israeli troops will withdraw before Obama takes office on Tuesday.
