The Israeli military announced that it will hold fire for seven hours
Monday in parts of the Gaza Strip to facilitate the entry of
humanitarian aid and for displaced Palestinians to return to their
homes.
The humanitarian truce, beginning at 10 am (0700 GMT), however, would not apply in areas of the southern Gaza town of Rafah, a Defense Ministry official said in a statement.
The statement also said Israeli military would respond to any attacks during that time.
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon on Sunday strongly condemned the killing of at least 10 Palestinians in shelling outside of a UN-run school in Gaza, which is offering shelter to thousands of Palestinian civilians, saying that "the attack is yet another gross violation of international humanitarian law."
