Israel and Gaza Strip militants agreed to Egypt’s proposal for another 72-hour truce, giving negotiators time to try to craft a more enduring accord after a month of violence in the Hamas-ruled territory.
Media on both sides said the cease-fire would go into effect at midnight. More than 1,900 Palestinians, including hundreds of civilians, have been killed, according to the Gaza Health Ministry, and 67 people have died on the Israeli side, including three civilians.
