哈馬斯同意停火

Hamas militants say they will now agree to a new 24-hour humanitarian cease-fire in Gaza, starting at 2 p.m. local time (1100 UTC).

Israel has yet to respond to Hamas on the latest call for a cease-fire.

Hamas made the statement Sunday shortly after Israel resumed its raids in Gaza following rocket fire from the Palestinian territory. A barrage of rockets were shot into Israel from Gaza hours before another cease-fire was scheduled to end.

Israel's military said "following Hamas' incessant rocket fire throughout the humanitarian window, which was agreed upon for the welfare of the civilian population in Gaza, the IDF will now resume its aerial, naval and ground activity in the Gaza Strip."

Palestinians say three people have been killed in Gaza since the shelling resumed.

Israel had agreed Saturday to continue the original 12-hour truce in Gaza another 24 hours, through Sunday at midnight local time (( 2100 UTC.))

However, Israel said it would respond to Hamas rocket fire during the extension and would continue to search for and destroy tunnels Hamas uses to smuggle weapons and fighters into Israel.

Hamas rejected the extension, saying Israel first had to withdraw its forces from Gaza.

Palestinians say their death toll has exceeded 1,000. Most of those killed have been civilians, including many children.

Israel says 43 Israeli soldiers and two civilians have died.哈馬斯武裝說，他們同意在加沙開始實行一項新的24小時人道主義停火方案，從當地時間下午2：00（即中國時間晚7：00）開始。

以色列還沒有對哈馬斯的最新表態作出迴應。

哈馬斯星期天發表了這項聲明，聲明發表前不久，以色列恢復了對加沙地帶的炮襲，以此回擊來自巴勒斯坦領土的火箭攻擊。在延長停火時段結束前幾個小時，來自加沙一連串的火箭彈襲擊的了伊拉克。
以色列軍方星期天說，由於哈馬斯在停火期間不斷向以方發動火箭彈襲擊，以色列軍方決定恢復針對加沙地帶的空中、海上以及地面行動。

巴勒斯坦說，以色列恢復攻擊以來，又有3人在加沙喪生。

以色列星期六曾同意繼續在原12小時停火的基礎上再停火24小時，知道星期天當地時間午夜爲止。

不過以色列表示，在停火延長期間，以方將繼續對哈馬斯的火箭彈襲擊作出迴應，同時繼續搜索並摧毀哈馬斯用於向以色列境內偷運武器和人員的地下通道。

哈馬斯拒絕接受停火延長提議，並堅持以色列必須從加沙撤軍。巴勒斯坦方面說，已經有超過一千名巴勒斯坦人在這輪衝突中喪生，其中多數是平民，包括很多兒童。

以色列說有43名以軍士兵和兩名平民喪生。
