Fighting briefly subsided in Gaza on Sunday after Hamas agreed to a 24-hour humanitarian truce in the Strip. Israel's PM Benjamin Netanyahu, however, slammed the group for failing to accept its own ceasefire and continuing to fire.
"In response to UN intervention and considering the situation of our people and the occasion of Eid, it has been agreed among resistance factions to endorse a 24-hour humanitarian calm, starting from 2 pm on Sunday," Sami Abu Zuhri, Hamas spokesman said in a statement.
Eid al-Fitr, also called Feast of Breaking the Fast, is an important religious holiday celebrated by Muslims worldwide that marks the end of Ramadan. It starts on Tuesday.
In the meantime, Israel rejected the proposal by the United nations and Hamas to humanitarian ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, the country's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told CNN.
"Hamas doesn't even accept its own ceasefire, it's continuing to fire at us as we speak," he said, adding that Israel "will take what ever action is necessary to protect our people."
