The BBC is now reporting more than 1000 deaths, almost 5000 injured.
BBC NEWS | Middle East | 'More than 1,000 killed in Gaza'
"A spokesman for Hamas, which controls Gaza, said any ceasefire agreement would have to entail a halt to Israeli attacks, a complete withdrawal of Israeli forces and the opening of border crossings to end the blockade of Gaza. "
Look at that... Hamas want the 18 month-long siege lifted. Who'd have believed it?!?
