The Gaza strip witnessed on Friday the start of a three-day ceasefire between the Palestinian resistance factions and the Zionist entity, which has been waging a brutal offensive on the besieged strip for almost four weeks.

72-Hour Truce Starts in Gaza on Friday

Just hours before the ceasefire came into force, 14 more Palestinians were martyred by "Israeli" tank and air fire in the Gaza Strip.
Among the martyrs were a woman and at least two children killed by "Israeli" tank fire in the southern Gaza Strip early Friday, a spokesman for the local emergency services said.

Six of them were martyred in an "Israeli" air strike in the same area, the spokesman said.
Their deaths bring the toll on the Palestinian side to 1,450 since the "Israeli" offensive in the Gaza Strip began on July 7.
While the proposal was accepted by Hamas, a spokesman stressed it was dependent on "Israel" reciprocating.

"Hamas and all the resistance movements have accepted a 72-hour humanitarian ceasefire from 8:00am Friday which will be respected by all these movements if the other party also observes the ceasefire," Hamas spokesman Fawzi Barhoum said.

"Israel has accepted the US/UN proposal for a 72-hour humanitarian ceasefire beginning 8:00am Friday (local time)," a source in the "Israeli" prime minister's office said.
