Israel Agrees To Extend 3-Day Cease Fire

Israel has offered to extend a three-day ceasefire in Gaza which began on Tuesday after nearly a month of conflict, Israeli officials say.

There has been no comment yet from the militant Palestinian movement Hamas, which controls Gaza.

Indirect talks between Palestinian factions and Israel have been taking place, mediated by Egypt.

More than 1,800 Palestinians, mostly civilians, and 67 Israelis, mainly soldiers, have died in the conflict.
