“The Israeli security cabinet voted to accept a ceasefire late Thursday as the Israeli south and Gaza remain inflamed,” the Jerusalem Post reports.
“Sources from the cabinet meeting said that the IDF will cease airstrikes on Gaza immediately. However, in the case Hamas continues to fire rockets into Israel, the IDF will return to full operational activities in the Gaza Strip and the ceasefire will be cancelled immediately.”
