According to TASS, the goal is to make it possible to deliver humanitarian aid to the enclave and allow foreign nationals to leave Gaza.
The ceasefire will take effect at 9:00 a.m. local time (6:00 a.m. GMT); the parties to the conflict have agreed on the need to take such a step.
The report points out that there are at least 100 trucks with aid at the Rafah crossing point on the border between Gaza and Egypt, waiting for a humanitarian corridor to be set up. This is while the Israeli regime’s military still continues to carry out strikes on Gaza.
Meanwhile, Al Jazeera quoted Hamas’ media office as saying that it has no information about such a development.
Israeli regime’s forces launched a sustained and forceful military attack against the Gaza Strip in response to a military operation last Saturday by the Palestinian group Hamas in occupied Palestine.
The conflict began when Hamas initiated Operation Al-Aqsa Strom– a multi-pronged surprise attack including a barrage of rocket launches and infiltrations into occupied Palestine via land, sea, and air.
Hamas said it was in retaliation for the storming of the Al-Aqsa Mosque in occupied East al-Quds and Zionist settlers’ growing violence against Palestinians.
The Israeli regime’s military launched Operation Swords of Iron against Hamas targets within the Gaza Strip in response.
That response was extended into cutting water, food, fuel, and electricity to Gaza in what it describes as a “full siege,” further worsening living conditions in an area that has reeled under a crippling siege since 2007.
