Hamas will not extend ceasefire

Two senior Hamas officials say the Palestinian militant movement will not extend a 72-hour ceasefire in Gaza that expires at 05:00 GMT on Friday, accusing Israel of rejecting their demands for a truce.

A leader of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, a smaller faction in Gaza that is also present at the Cairo-mediated truce talks, confirms the factions decided not to extend the ceasefire.
