Israel og Hamas er blitt enige om en 12 timer lang humanitær våpenhvile. Forhandlinger om en ukelang våpenhvile har ikke ført frem.

Israel and Hamas have both agreed to a 12-hour cease-fire in Gaza that began Saturday morning (at 8:00 a.m. local time, 0500 UTC).

The Israeli army says it still will look for and destroy tunnels militants use to smuggle weapons into Gaza.

A Hamas official says the militant group will also stop fighting for the 12-hour period.

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry says Israeli media reports saying the Cabinet has rejected plans for a seven-day cease-fire are wrong.
