Gaza 'Truce' Scheduled for Early Thursday, Will End Later Thursday

Is there anyone outside of gullible media outlets that buy this?

A ceasefire between Israel and Hamas will begin on Thursday, a Palestinian official familiar with Egyptian-brokered truce efforts said on Tuesday.

An Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman said he was unaware of any deal. There was no immediate comment from Hamas.

"The two sides agreed and the implementation of the truce will begin at 6 a.m. (0300 GMT) on Thursday," said the Palestinian official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorised to announce a deal.

He said the ceasefire was agreed despite Israel's killing of at least six Palestinian gunmen in the Gaza Strip on Tuesday.

Commenting on the latest violence, the official said both sides were trying to show they agreed to the truce out of strength, not weakness.

I give it two hours before the first murderous Palestinian lobs a rocket.
