Israel, Palestinians agree to undeclared truce — report
Israel and the Palestinian factions in the Gaza Strip will halt rocket fire and airstrikes this evening as part of an undeclared truce, Palestinian sources tell local paper Al-Quds. The report comes as Israeli delegates return to Cairo for discussions to bring about a ceasefire to end the current conflict.
The Palestinian sources say that Hamas and Islamic Jihad informed Egypt that they’re committed to a truce in order to continue the discussions about the Palestinian demands — “which remain the only discussion after the Egyptian proposal was canceled.”
