I'm Predicting:

Israel declared a unilateral cease fire as of 2 AM.
Hamas views the announcement as symbolic and takes it for a gesture of weakness.

Hamas has announced that they have no intention of ceasing fire.
Hamas says that "the resistance will continue."
Hamas spokesman in Lebanon, Osama Hamadan, called the announcement by Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert "Failure Speech # 2."
Hamadan was referring to the speech Olmert gave ending the operation against Hezbollah in Lebanon two years ago.

What we have here is a conflict that juxtaposes Western thinking with Middle Eastern mentality.
As Israel's Defense Minister Ehud Barak was briefing reporters on the ceasefire Hamas rockets were raining down on Israel.

I'm predicting that Hamas will continue to launch rockets into Israel throughout Sunday and even on Monday.
I'm predicting that Israel will gather the intel and strike back hard.
