Hamas spokesman Fawzi Barhoum said the truce would go into effect on Thursday morning, adding that several hours after the truce is implemented, "Israel would ease a one-year blockade it imposed on the Gaza Strip."
Since Hamas' violent takeover of Gaza in mid June last year, Palestinian militants have launched rockets from the territory against southern Israeli communities almost daily, while Israel has imposed a tightened blockade on Gaza and termed it as a hostile entity.
