Israel Strikes Gaza Targets
• Hamas Says It Is Ending Attacks

Israel conducted air strikes against targets in Gaza early today as Hamas, the biggest Palestinian terrorist group, said it will stop the rocket attacks that had prompted the Israeli reprisals in the first place. "Keeping our commitments to the Cairo agreement and the highest interests of our people as well as to our promise to stop open displays of arms, we have decided to halt all our military operations in the Gaza Strip,'' Mahmoud al-Zahar, a Hamas official, said at a press conference around midnight yesterday.
