Hamas rejects truce extension
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleHamas spokesman Sami Abu-Zuhri says the group rejects Israel’s offer to extend the humanitarian truce until Sunday night, saying it does not meet their demands.
“Any humanitarian ceasefire that does not include the pullout of [IDF troops] from the Gaza Strip and does not allow Gaza residents to return to their homes and to care for their wounded is not acceptable,” Abu-Zuhri says, according to Israeli media reports.
Hamas on Saturday night unilaterally broke a several-hour truce with Israel, shooting rockets at Beersheba and Ashkelon, after Jerusalem agreed to extend the timeout from 8 p.m. until midnight.
