经过在加沙近一个月的战争，以色列官员表示承认准备接受埃及提出的72小时 停火协议。但目前巴勒斯坦军队哈马斯成员还没有发表任何回应。戴维斯从耶路撒冷为您发回报道。

The reported extension of the three-day ceasefire was confirmed to the BBC by senior Israeli officials but other unconfirmed reports from the region said Hamas had not yet agreed to continue the calm into the weekend. Israel has been stunned by widespread international criticism of its month-long bombing campaign in Gaza in which more than 1,800 Palestinians were killed. According to UN agencies 1,300 were civilians and of those more than 400 were children. But this evening in his first public comments since the start of the ceasefire Benjamin Netanyahu blamed Hamas for every one of the civilian casualties. The Israeli Prime Minister accused the Palestinian militant group of deliberately firing rockets from within built-up civilian areas. Mr. Netanyahu repeated his assertion that Israel never deliberately targets civilians and said the attacks were often aborted to avoid collateral damage.
