Trump 1927-2014 The AssociATed Press JERUSALEM Israel and Hamas have agreed to a 72- hour humanitarian cease- fire beginning Friday, dur- ing which time there will be negotiations on a more durable truce in the 24-day- old Gaza war, the United States and United Nations announced Thursday.

The announcement came hours after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanya- hu vowed to destroy tunnel network or without a and as the Palestinian death toll soared past 1,400. There was no immediate Israeli com- ment on the announcement. In a statement released in New Delhi where Secretary of State John Kerry is travel- ing, the U.S. and U.N. said they had gotten assurances that all parties to the conflict had agreed to an uncondi- tional cease-fire.

humanitarian cease-fire will commence at 8 a.m. local time on Friday, Aug. 1, 2014. It will last for a period of 72 hours unless extended. During this time the forces on the ground will remain in the state- ment said.

urge all parties to act with restraint until this hu- manitarian cease-fire be- gins, and to fully abide by their commitments during the The statement said the cease-fire was critical to give civilians a much-needed re- prieve from violence. During this period, civilians in Gaza will receive humanitarian relief and have time to bury the dead, take care of the injured and restock food supplies. The time also will be used to repair water and energy infrastructure. At least four short hu- manitarian cease-fires have been announced since the conflict began, but each has been broken by renewed fighting. Earlier, the Israeli mili- tary said it was calling up an additional 16,000 reserve soldiers to pursue its cam- paign against the Islamic militants.

At least 1,441 Pales- tinians have been killed, three-quarters of them civilians, since hostilities began on July 8, according to Gaza health officials surpassing the at least 1,410 Palestinians killed in last major invasion in 2009, according to Palestinian rights groups. Israel says 56 soldiers, two Israeli civilians and a Thai agricultural worker have died far more than the 13 Israeli deaths in the previous campaign. In Geneva, the U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay accused both Israel and Hamas mili- tants of violating the rules of war. She said Hamas is vio- lating international hu- manitarian law by rockets within schools and hospitals, or even launching these rockets from densely populated But she added that this did not ab- solve Israel from disregard- ing the same law.

The Iron Dome system has been credited with sav- ing countless lives as Hamas militants fired nearly 3,000 rockets at Israel since hos- tilities began. At the United Nations, Ambassador Ron Prosor responded to criti- cism of his country, saying: think the international community should be very vocal in standing with Israel fighting terrorism today be- cause if not, you will see it on your doorstep Israel expanded what started as an aerial campaign against Hamas and widened it into a ground offensive on July 17. Since then, Is- rael says the campaign has concentrated on destroying cross-border tunnels mili- tants constructed to carry out attacks inside Israeli territory and ending rocket attacks on its cities. Israel says most of the 32 tunnels it uncovered have now been demolished and that getting rid of the re- mainder will take no more than a few days. have neutralized doz- ens of terror tunnels and we are committed to complete this mission, with or with- out a Netanyahu said Thursday in televised remarks.

I will not agree to any offer that does not allow the military to complete this important mission for the security of the people of For Israel, the tunnel net- work is a strategic threat. It says the tunnels are meant to facilitate mass attacks on ci- vilians and soldiers inside Is- rael, as well as kidnappings, a tactic that Hamas has used in the past. Palestinian mili- tants trying to sneak into Is- rael through the tunnels have been found with sedatives and handcuffs, an indication they were planning abduc- tions, the military says. Several soldiers have been killed in the current round of fighting by Palestinian gunmen who popped out of underground tunnels near Israeli communities along the Gaza border. Israeli defense officials said the purpose of the latest call-up of 16,000 reserves was to provide relief for troops currently on the Gaza firing line, and amounted to a rotation that left the over- all number of mobilized re- servists at around 70,000.

They spoke on condition of anonymity in line with regulations. However, Israeli officials have also said they do not rule out broadening opera- tions in the coming days. Palestinians have fired more than 2,850 rockets at Israel some reaching ma- jor cities but most intercept- ed by the Iron Dome defense system. On Thursday alone, more than 100 rockets were fired toward Israeli cities, the army said. One Israeli was seriously wounded when a rocket exploded in a residential area of Kiryat Gat in south- ern Israel, the military said.

The rocket damaged a house and destroyed several cars parked on the street. An- other rocket was intercept- ed over Tel Aviv by rocket defense system, the army said. Israeli attacks continued Thursday, killing at least 56 Palestinians, according to Gaza health officials. Gazans said munitions struck the Omar Ibn al- Khatab mosque next to a U.N. school in the northern town of Beit Lahiya.

The of- fice of the military spokes- man said Palestinian snipers inside the mosque had shot at troops, wounding one Is- raeli soldier and prompting retaliatory fire. The strike in Beit Lahiya damaged water tanks on the roof of a building near the mosque, sending shrap- nel flying into the adjacent school compound, where dozens of Palestinians dis- placed by the fighting had taken shelter. shrapnel from the strike on the mosque hit people who were in the street and at the entrance of the said Sami Sale- bi, an area resident. More than a quarter of a million Palestinians in Gaza over 236,000 are seek- ing shelter in 86 UNRWA installations, according to UNRWA spokesman Chris Gunness.
