Gaza conflict: Israel and Hamas agree 12-hour window

[Lady Vizsla]

Quote:

Israel and Hamas have said they have accepted a 12-hour humanitarian window in Gaza.

The truce is due to begin at 0800 local time (0500 GMT). Efforts to negotiate a seven-day ceasefire are still ongoing.

Earlier US Secretary of State John Kerry said he was still confident of a longer ceasefire, despite media reports that Israel had rejected one proposal.

More than 800 Palestinians, mostly civilians, and 36 Israelis have died since the conflict started on 8 July.

A spokesman for Hamas, the Islamist group that controls Gaza, Sami Abu Zuhri said there was "national consensus on a humanitarian truce... for 12 hours on Saturday".

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) later confirmed the truce on Twitter, but said it would "continue to locate and neutralise terror tunnels".

"We will respond if terrorists choose to exploit this time to attack IDF personnel or fire at Israeli civilians," it said in a statement.

Ah, so Hamas has run out of rockets to fire at Israeli non-military installations. They need some breathing room to import more rockets, insteaof more frivolities...like food.

And this cease-fire will continue until Israel breaks it by responding to continued Hamas missile strikes by firing back at them.

Remember, children: the cease-fire only applies to Israel, so Hamas cannot break it by continuing to fire.Only Israel can, if they return fire.

No offence guys, but those comment are kind of uncalled for. Unless...Kiin or Omnieach said something that I can't see.

Good. I'm not overly optimistic in the long run, but at least this will give some peace to the citizens on both sides for awhile. Also, LOL @ Patton.

For you? No. Y'see, you only ever want sources for anti-Palestinian or pro-Israeli arguments, never for pro-Palestinian or anti-Israeli ones, so I'm under the impression that you need to source your arguments before I can be expected to source mine.

So, you first.

I second his comment but my local Radio station has already said they fired already today and Israel hasn't yet.

What I find amusing is she's said that we can look up her stuff on our own, but she won't look up our stuff. It's the main reason why I just stopped posting and reading the the deadliest day topic. That and she didn't know why I brought up Jerusalem when she brought up illegal settlements.

Except that you still haven't given ANY sources even when you said you would in that other thread. My points on sources for stuff like this from the other thread still stand.

You seem to miss the point that the reason I ask for sources is because everything I have read says differently than what the person posted. It is completely in line with the fact that I said if you all actually did your own research you'd see that you're wrong on many things.

And yes, I have no idea why you'd would ever talk about Jerusalem seeing as it has nothing to do with illegal settlements. If you think it does feel free to explain.

PS. I actually do have sources for the things I say but I have no will to post them if you, or others, won't do me the same courtesy.
