Israel extends the truce that Hamas has breached
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA few minutes ago, the Israeli security cabinet approved a 24 hour extension of the humanitarian truce in the Gaza Strip, until Sunday at midnight. Hamas, however, breached that truce on Saturday night.
Still, Israel says it will hold its fire if Hamas does.
Israel also notes that the IDF exposed several Hamas terror tunnels and blew up several during Saturday’s lull — and tackling the tunnels is a key goal of the ground offensive.
FM Liberman and Economy Minister Bennett reportedly voted against the truce extension idea.
