Israel and Hamas agreed Thursday to an unconditional, 72-hour humanitarian cease-fire in the Gaza conflict, set to begin Friday, the United States and United Nations said.
The cease-fire was scheduled to commence at 8 am local time on Friday, and is expected to last for a period of 72 hours unless it's extended, the State Department said in a statement. Military forces will be expected to stay in place during the cease-fire.
In a joint statement, the U.S. and U.N. said they had gotten assurances that all parties to the conflict had agreed to the halt in hostilities.

He's on the tube right now taking full credit in his usual humble way. He sounds like a super Bowl winning coach. Kind like Obama telling us how he capped the Deepwater Horizon well?

It doesn’t appear to be Photoshopped. We just don’t know the context — where it took place, who the man is, who the children are, what he was doing, when it was taken, and so on.

Israel may not fire...but they will still work to uncover tunnels.
Israel is kind...but not stupid.

The only real ceasefire will be the cease-to-exist fire that takes place after Israel wipes out Hamas.

Palis are now claiming the ceasefire doesn’t apply to Israeli soldiers in Palestine. Battling continuing in south end.
