Israel sees rare break in rocket fire, Hamas said to be open to halt

The last two hours have seen rocket fire on Israel from Gaza completely halt, a rare reprieve after almost three days of near-constant rocket fire.

Israeli strikes on Gaza are continuing, according to reports.

The lull comes after a Hamas official reportedly said that the group was open to talks about a ceasefire, having “achieved its objectives.”
