Another Gaza truce countdown (Live Video and Updates)(Breaking – New truce after rocket fire?)
Latest: Rocket fire from Gaza followed by reports of extension of truce by another 5 days, but situation unclear as of 5:40 p.m. Eastern.
The current 72-hour Gaza truce expires at 5 p.m. Eastern today.
There are completely mixed signals being reported as to whether there is progress on a longer-term ceasefire, and if not, whether Hamas will attack again when the current truce expires.
We will update as events clarify, and you can follow at the live video and Twitter feeds at the bottom of the post.

And as soon as Hamas begins firing rockets into Israel again, Britain will punish Israel by boycotting war supplies. Perverse incentives anyone?
Gazans should simply be evacuated from Gaza back into Egypt where they used to citizens of. Continuing this cycle of violence is just not tenable. It would be nice if everyone could get along, but its just not going to happen and moving the Gazans would be in everyone’s best interest.
They were never Egyptian citizens. Why should Egypt take them?
Hamas should consider every breached cease fire as a step on the way to full Israeli occupation.
