 Informed sources in Cairo reported  Sunday that the Palestinian delegation, including Hamas envoys, had  agreed to a further truce, the seventh, for another 72 hours, and are  awaiting Israel’s response. For now, Palestinian rockets continued to  explode in the Ashkelon area and the environs of the Gaza Strip. Israel  wants to know if Hamas has set pre-conditions for the new ceasefire  before deciding whether to reciprocate.
