A temporary cease-fire between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip began after both sides agreed to a United Nations request for a pause in a week of fighting on humanitarian grounds.
The truce will last five hours starting from 10 a.m. local time to allow civilians to resupply provisions. Any attacks launched at Israel during that time will be met “firmly and decisively,” the army said late yesterday. Other Palestinian militant factions also agreed to the truce.
