Israel and Hamas holds five-hour pause in fighting RK News Palestine: Israel and Hamas are to hold a five-hour ceasefire to allow UN humanitarian aid to enter the Gaza Strip. The UN asked Israel on Wednesday for a unilateral pause, a UN official said, as renewed air strikes on the enclave threatened a major humanitarian crisis. The army said Israel has decided that between 10am and 3pm the Israeli military will cease operational activity within the Gaza Strip and hold its fire. In a statement in response, Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri said: The group agrees to a ceasefire for five hours, starting from 10:00 am (0700 GMT) on Thursday. Meanwhile, more than 226 Palestinians have been killed and 1,685 others injured in nine days of incessant bombardment by Israel on the Gaza Strip. Hospitals in the city were running out of medical supplies and the Red Cross has warned of acute water shortages.
