Palestinian medical sources have reported that Israeli missiles have killed 8 Palestinians in noontime strikes on Sunday, while four more Palestinians dead of wounds suffered several days ago.

Hamas officials said that they had negotiated with all of the resistance factions in Gaza, according to Palestinian leadership, and managed to get them to agree to a 24-hour ceasefire.
But Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu told CNN that Israel would not respect the ceasefire negotiated by Hamas, saying, ‘Under these circumstances, Israel will do what it must do to defend its people.’
Earlier Sunday,
The Israeli Economy Minister, head of the Jewish Home party, Naftali Bennett, posted on his Facebook page, “Israel is in the midst of an historic operation to destroy Hamas and completely disarm it. Now, especially now, we should not remove our foot from the gas pedal. No ceasefire, no truce, no rest, no peace, no dialogue. Hamas leaders know our phone numbers – if they want to disarm, call us. Otherwise, there will be no end to this operation.”

Palestinian armed groups in Gaza fired several missiles into Israel after the initial twelve-hour truce ended, as the groups rejected any truce that does not include a full Israeli withdrawal from cities, towns and areas the army recently invaded as part of Israel’s war on Gaza.
