Date:

A Hamas official told AFP on Saturday that the Islamist militant group would observe a 12-hour Gaza ceasefire starting later in the morning.

“There is national consensus on a humanitarian truce… for 12 hours on Saturday, from 8:00 am to 8:00 pm, (0500 to 1700 GMT),” Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zukhri told AFP.
