The Israeli security cabinet unanimously voted to accept a ceasefire on Thursday evening, so long as Hamas honors the agreement, Channel 12 News Israel reported. The ceasefire is likely to begin Thursday night after Egyptian authorities negotiated between Israel and Hamas.
The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) will stop its attacks in the Gaza Strip at 2:00 a.m. on Friday (7:00 p.m. Eastern on Thursday night), according to the agreement. If Hamas continues to fire rockets at Israel, however, the IDF will resume the attack and the ceasefire will be canceled. Egypt has promised that it will be able to convince Hamas to stop firing rockets.

On Friday, the Israeli Air Force bombed a building in Gaza that served as headquarters for the Associated Press and Al Jazeera, the pro-Palestinian, Arab propaganda organ.
No one was hurt or killed because the IDF gave a one-hour warning that the building was going to be destroyed. That didn’t stop the AP from issuing a statement from its CEO Gary Pruitt that condemned Israel in the most hysterical terms.
“We are shocked and horrified that the Israeli military would target and destroy the building housing AP’s bureau and other news organizations in Gaza. They have long known the location of our bureau and knew journalists were there. We received a warning that the building would be hit.”
