GAZA/JERUSALEM: Israel and Palestinian militants have agreed to watch a truce in Gaza from Sunday night as proposed by Cairo, sources stated, after a weekend-long pounding of Palestinian targets by Israel drove militants to focus on its cities with longer-range rockets.
An Egyptian safety supply stated Israel had agreed to the truce supply, whereas a Palestinian official conversant in Egyptian mediation efforts stated it will go into impact at 20:00 (1900 GMT).
Spokespeople for Israel and Islamic Jihad, the faction it has been combating in Gaza since clashes erupted on Friday, didn’t verify this, saying solely that they had been in touch with Cairo.
