Hamas’s armed wing says the terror group will not strike Tel Aviv between 10 p.m. and midnight.

“By order of Chief of Staff Muhammad Al-Deif, the curfew on Tel Aviv and its surroundings is lifted for two hours from 10 to midnight tonight. Then they shall return to waiting tensely for what is to come,” a spokesperson for Hamas’s armed wing says.

Hamas has promised to strike Tel Aviv and central Israel should Israel continue destroying high-rise residential buildings in Gaza. The Israeli military has destroyed at least one such building today and threatened to destroy another.
