Israel and the Palestinians groups including Hamas have agreed to a new 72-hour ceasefire in Gaza.

Officials and Egyptian mediators said, the ceasefire will start at 8 AM local time today. Yesterday, Israel held its own 7-hour humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza and then resumed its military operations.

A Palestinian delegation, including Hamas representatives, has been holding talks in Cairo with Egyptian mediators for a durable truce in Gaza, but Israel has not yet sent any negotiators to the Egyptian capital.

Meanwhile, health officials in Gaza said, more than 1,800 Palestinians have been killed in the four-week conflict, which has also claimed 67 Israeli lives.
