Israeli regime was forced to unilaterally agree to a cease-fire Thursday, halting a bruising 11-day war that caused widespread destruction in the Gaza Strip and left hundreds of Palestinian martyrs and injured.
At 2 a.m. local time, just as the cease-fire took effect, Palestinian people in Quds and Gaza took to the streets shouting “Allahu Akbar” or whistling from balconies. Many fired in the air, celebrating the victory.
While Hamas continued missile attacks on different parts of the occupied territories, Israel claimed to inflict heavy damage on Hamas but once again was unable to halt the Resistance militant group’s nonstop rocket barrages. Besides Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu faced angry accusations from his hard-line, right-wing base that he stopped the operation too soon.

nobody will be secure until there is a Palestinian state Logoglu says that, "The latest conflagration between Israel and the Palestinians underscores two basic facts: 1- nobody will be secure until there is a Palestinian state; 2- Netanyahu and warmongers are losing ground in Israeli politics."
He added, "Even in its staunchest ally the USA, there is rising criticism of Israel - a novel situation indeed! perhaps a new birth will be given to a wider peace-oriented approach toward the Palestinians I believe there is going to be a deep reflection in Israel about the future of the country, perhaps giving birth to a wider peace-oriented approach toward the Palestinians.
