Terrorist groups in Gaza are saying they agree to a cease-fire starting at midnight:
Militant Terrorist groups in the Gaza Strip have agreed to stop firing missiles at Israel at midnight Saturday, senior Palestinian officials said.
The unilateral cease-fire is aimed at ending an Israeli offensive in the Gaza Strip that began June 28, three days after militants raided an Israeli army post, killing two soldiers and capturing a third, 19-year-old Cpl. Gilad Shalit, the officials said on condition of anonymity because the agreement was reached at a closed meeting.
More than 100 Palestinians have been killed since then in daily attacks by Israeli warplanes, tanks and artillery, and the militants have fired hundreds of homemade rockets at southern Israel.
The agreement was reached in Gaza City following meetings sponsored by Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh aimed at finding a way out of the crisis in Gaza, the officials said. Several Palestinian militant groups attended, including Haniyeh’s Hamas and Islamic Jihad, which have been blamed for many of the rocket attacks on southern Israel, the officials said.
Nothing about returning the kidnapped soldier, of course.

“Nothing about returning the kidnapped soldier, of course. ”
Yea. I wonder what the survival rate ratio is for captured Israeli soldiers by the Palestinians/Arabic Countries?
I bet the life/death ratio is far, far worse than for Prisoners of War held by Japan in WWII. Or for the Soviet Union for that matter…
And where is Amnesty International in regards to the Geneva Conventions?
Where are their requests to see the Prisoner or Prisons? Where is their outrage?
