Terror groups say no end to violence until Israel acknowledges ceasefire

Palestinian terror groups in Gaza say that they will continue to fire rockets into Israel until Israel publicly acknowledges that it has reached ceasefire understandings with them

“The battle will not end until the occupation responds affirmatively to our people’s demands,” the Joint Command Center of armed Palestinian factions in Gaza says in a statement early Monday.

“We will not allow the settlers to leave their shelters as long as the enemy’s leadership denies its understandings with the resistance, it says.

The statement comes as rocket sirens continue to wail despite reports Israel and the Gaza terror groups are working toward a cease-fire brokered by Egypt and the UN.
