Itongadol.- An Israeli official says Israel will extend truce under current terms of Egyptian-brokered deal; official doesn\’t say how long extension to be; Hamas has no immediate comment.
Israel has conditionally agreed to extend a ceasefire that ended a month of fighting in Gaza beyond a Friday deadline, an Israeli official said on Wednesday, speaking on condition of anonymity.
The official did not say for how much longer Israel had agreed to extend the truce, only that: "Israel has expressed its readiness to extend the truce under its current terms," referring to the deal brokered by Egypt that took effect on Tuesday.
Hamas had no immediate comment.
The cease-fire that went into effect on Tuesday has held thus far, allowing for the removal of safety restriction bans in Israel and a relative "return to normal."
