哈马斯同意停火

Hamas militants say they will now agree to a new 24-hour humanitarian cease-fire in Gaza, starting at 2 p.m. local time (1100 UTC).

Israel has yet to respond to Hamas on the latest call for a cease-fire.

Hamas made the statement Sunday shortly after Israel resumed its raids in Gaza following rocket fire from the Palestinian territory.  A barrage of rockets were shot into Israel from Gaza hours before another cease-fire was scheduled to end.

Israel's military said "following Hamas' incessant rocket fire throughout the humanitarian window, which was agreed upon for the welfare of the civilian population in Gaza, the IDF will now resume its aerial, naval and ground activity in the Gaza Strip."

Palestinians say three people have been killed in Gaza since the shelling resumed.

Israel had agreed Saturday to continue the original 12-hour truce in Gaza another 24 hours, through Sunday at midnight local time (( 2100 UTC.))

However, Israel said it would respond to Hamas rocket fire during the extension and would continue to search for and destroy tunnels Hamas uses to smuggle weapons and fighters into Israel. 

Hamas rejected the extension, saying Israel first had to withdraw its forces from Gaza.

Palestinians say their death toll has exceeded 1,000.  Most of those killed have been civilians, including many children.

Israel says 43 Israeli soldiers and two civilians have died.
