Israel declares partial Gaza ceasefire but fighting goes on in Rafah
Israel has declared a seven-hour “humanitarian window” in Gaza to start at 10am local time (7amGMT) amid international outrage at the third deadly attack on a UN school sheltering displaced Palestinians and mounting pressure for the bloodshed to end.

The unilateral ceasefire is the eighth temporary pause in fighting, nearly all of which have broken down amid mutual accusations of violations.

The Israeli army has exempted the area around the southern town of Rafah, where the UN school was struck on Sunday and fighting was continuing. Troops were working on destroying a cross-border tunnel in the area.

1. For a week, I've been throwing rocks and bottles at you

this week, I stopped throwing rocks.

Partial cease fire.

2. Bullshit, essentially. nt

[Orrex]

3. It means Israel delays its murderous campaign where & when it's convenient to do so

So that they can afterward claim carte blanche to resume killing civilians again.

4. it means you must stop fighting back, but I'm going to continue doing what I was already doing

I'm the more powerful of the two of us, so I set the rules and tone. When you fight back, I will use this as an excuse to blow up another hospital and blame you for violating a cease fire.

5. It means, here is your chance to get out.

Because strikes here will continue
