After eight days of rocket fire from Gaza and Israeli counter-attacks on terrorist targets, a cease-fire was declared at 21:00 Israel time on 21 November.

More than 1,300 rockets have been fired at Israel since Saturday (10 Nov), over 1,100 since the start of Operation Pillar of Defense (14 Nov), landing mostly in the south.

Eight days ago, Israel embarked on operation Pillar of Defense. In a phone call I had this evening with President Obama, I agreed that we should give the ceasefire a chance.

Peres: "We greatly appreciate your efforts to bring an end to the attacks on Israeli civilians and to bring hope to the region."
