Humanitarian ceasefire goes into effect
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA five-hour humanitarian ceasefire begins.
It follows a volley of rockets on central Israel and an attempted infiltration early Thursday by 13 Hamas fighters into a Jewish village south of the Gaza Strip. There are no hurt or injured Israelis in either attack.
The IDF says the ceasefire, or “humanitarian window,” as the IDF calls it, will last as long as Hamas refrains from rocket fire.
