Israel said to accept 3-day lull, but will not declare it

The IDF will not initiate strikes on the Gaza Strip for the next three days, in effect accepting a humanitarian truce, but is avoiding declaring it publicly, a senior official tells Channel 10.

The official says it is an open-ended truce.

Channel 10 reports that, since 2 p.m., the IDF has been instructed to halt fire, and since then has only targeted specific sites in response to the ongoing rocket fire.
