Israel, Hamas agree to 5-hour cease-fire
Israel and Hamas agreed to a five-hour United Nations brokered “humanitarian” pause Wednesday in order to allow humanitarian aid into Gaza.
In a statement Wednesday, the Israeli military said it would hold its fire for five hours starting at 10:00 a.m. local time on Thursday under a plan to allow Palestinians to restock food, water and other necessities, The Associated Press reported.
{mosads}Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri said Gaza militants decided to respect the pause and would refrain from firing rockets during that time.
