Israel, Hamas accept 72-hr Gaza ceasefire proposal

| | Aug 05, 2014, at 03:43 pm
Jerusalem, Aug 5 (IBNS): Israel and Palestinian groups including Hamas on Monday agreed to a 72-hour humanitarian truce in Gaza, reports said.
The 72-hour ceasefire will start at 8:00 local time on Tuesday.
 
Israel earlier on Monday said it  has authorized a humanitarian window to take place in the Gaza Strip. 
 
"The IDF will continue to neutralize the Hamas tunnel network and will respond to any attempt to harm Israeli civilians or soldiers. But Hamas continues to fire at Israel constantly and has failed to honor 6 consecutive humanitarian ceasefires. Yesterday (3rd  August), Israel uncovered a tunnel with three motorcycles and a large cache of weapons. Hamas was prepared to use this tunnel in order to carry out a terror attack inside Israel and return quickly to Gaza with hostages," Embassy of Israel in New Delhi said in a statement on Monday.
 
More than 1,800 Palestinians have been killed in the four-week conflict, which has also claimed 67 Israeli lives, a BBC report said.
