Following the most significant escalation on the southern border since Operation Protective Edge, a senior Palestinian official said that terror groups in Gaza are ready to negotiate a ceasefire; Joint command center in Gaza: ‘Factions of the resistance consider this round of escalation over as far as we are concerned.’

The official, at a joint command centre in Gaza, said the groups, in cross-border violence over the past two days, had been “responding to crimes” by Israel – a reference to the killing on Tuesday of two gunmen from the Hamas militant organisation.
