| Liveblogging Israel-Gaza Active Conflict: Day 51 |
| 2014-08-27 |
| Wednesday, August 27, the 51st day of the Israel-Hamas conflict, and the first since an open-ended truce was agreed by the sides. Hamas killed two Israelis in a mortar attack just before the truce took effect Tuesday evening, bringing the Israeli death toll in Operation Protective Edge to 70, and Israel struck targets in Gaza including several high-rises where it said Hamas had command centers. Hamas hailed victory in the conflict; Israel's cabinet was divided on the truce terms, but was not asked to vote on the deal. As of this posting, the exact language of the truce has not been released Also as of this posting, the truce has not been broken - of course its only about 10 hours. |
