72 Hour Ceasefire Declared in Hamas-Israel Fight
Beginning at 8 pm am on Friday.
Secretary of State John Kerry and Secretary General Ban Ki-moon of the United Nations announced early Friday that Israel and Hamas had agreed to a 72-hour humanitarian cease-fire in the Gaza conflict.
Israel will keep its troops in place on the ground during the ceasefire -- the article does not say if they will continue their tunnel-busting missions during the ceasefire.
The parties will gather in Cairo to discuss a longer-lasting ceasefire.
