Hamas says ceasefire deal reached to end Gaza violence
The Hamas terror group has announced that it is de-escalating tensions on the Gaza border in return for certain easements to deal with the coronavirus pandemic, the Gaza-based Shehab news agency reports.
“A number of projects that serve our people in the Gaza Strip will be announced and will contribute to alleviating it in light of the coronavirus wave that has befallen the Gaza Strip, as well as a return to the pre-escalation situation,” Hamas says, according to Shehab.
It says the deal was brokered by Qatari envoy Mohammed el-Amadi.
