No halt to Gaza fighting before Friday – Israel

There will be no ceasefire “before Friday”, an Israeli official told AFP on Thursday after a hostage release deal was pushed back by a day.

This will delay a widely anticipated lull which was expected to start at 10:00 am local time, according to another Israeli source.

The Israeli aggression on Gaza managed to kill more than 15,000 innocent civilians and left more than 31,000 thousand wounded.

The hospitals in the besieged city are also out of service, meaning that those wounded have nowhere to go.
