Hamas Rejects Ceasefire Offer, Then OKs It

Hamas has approved a 24-hour truce that goes into effect right now, rather abruptly reversing its earlier rejection of Israel's 24-hour ceasefire offer and halting the rockets it had begun launching again, even as Israel had re-launched military operations. The move comes ahead of the three-day Eid al-Fitr holiday, which begins tomorrow or Tuesday, depending on the sighting of the moon, and caps Ramadan.
