Palestinian resistance announces reaching a 4-day truce agreement in Gaza

The Palestinian resistance announced at dawn on Wednesday that it had reached a 4-day humanitarian truce agreement in the Gaza Strip without specifying the date of its entry into force, stressing at the same time that its hands will remain on the trigger to defend the Palestinian people in the face of the Israeli aggression.

The resistance said in a statement: “Based on our responsibility towards our resilient Palestinian people, and our tireless endeavor to strengthen the steadfastness of our heroic people in the Gaza Strip, and in an effort to consolidate the will of our victorious resistance, a humanitarian truce agreement (temporary ceasefire) for a period of four days was reached.”

The resistance added: “According to the agreement, there will be a ceasefire by both parties, a halt to all military actions by the occupation army in all areas of the Gaza Strip, a halt to the movement of its military vehicles penetrating into the Gaza Strip.”

Hundreds of trucks carrying humanitarian, relief, medical and fuel aid will be allowed into all areas of the Gaza Strip, without exception, in the north and south, according to the resistance.

The resistance noted that “the agreement includes the release of 50 women and children under the age of 19 years in exchange for the release of 150 women and children of our people under the age of 19 years from the occupation prisons, all according to seniority.”

It also includes “stopping air traffic in the south of the Gaza Strip for four days and stopping air traffic in the north for 6 hours a day from 10 am until 4 pm”.

The resistance stressed that “during the truce period, the occupation is committed not to attack or arrest anyone in all areas of the Gaza Strip” in addition to “ensuring the freedom of movement of people from north to south along Salah al-Din Street.”

“While we announce reaching a truce agreement, we affirm that our hands will remain on the trigger and we promise our people that we will remain loyal to their blood, their sacrifices and their aspirations for liberation, freedom and the establishment of an independent Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital,” it added.
