Palestinians in the Gaza Strip have ceased launching rockets at Israel as they are observing a 24-hour truce at the request of Egypt, senior Hamas official Ayman Taha was quoted by Reuters as saying on Monday afternoon.
According to the report, the brief ceasefire went into effect on Sunday evening.
Taha was quoted as saying that if Israel ceased from all military strikes in Gaza and opened the crossings into the Gaza Strip, Hamas might be willing to consider a longer truce.
