Palestinian resistance movement Hamas has announced a four-day truce with Israel in the Gaza Strip that will see the cessation of Israeli assaults on the Gaza Strip, warning that the hands of the resistance movement “remain on the trigger” should the occupying regime breach the deal.
In a statement released early on Wednesday, Hamas said the deal, mediated by Qatar and Egypt, will allow the entry of hundreds of humanitarian, medical and fuel aid trucks to Gaza.
During the four-day pause, it said, Israel will cease aerial assaults in southern Gaza and restrict them to six hours a day in the north,
The resistance group also noted that Israel has pledged not to attack or arrest anyone in Gaza or obstruct the movement of its residents along the Salah al-Din highway, the main road running north and south in the besieged enclave.
The deal will also see the release of 50 Israeli war prisoners in exchange for the release of 150 Palestinian women and children from the occupying entity’s jails.
