The ceasefire is supposed to last at least six months, but will unfold in stages. For the first 72 hours there will be a halt to the fighting from both sides. If that holds then Israel is to begin to allow more supplies into Gaza, easing the strict blockade on what it calls the "hostile territory". If the ceasefire is still in place after a week, then Israel is to ease some restrictions at the commercial crossing points. Hamas also wants the Rafah crossing with Egypt to open but that may be linked to progress on the release of the captured Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit and on reconciliation talks between Hamas and Fatah.
Gaza truce broken as Israeli raid kills six Hamas gunmen -5 November 2008
http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2008/nov/05/israelandthepalestinians
A four-month ceasefire between Israel and Palestinian militants in Gaza was in jeopardy today after Israeli troops killed six Hamas gunmen in a raid into the territory.
Hamas responded by firing a wave of rockets into southern Israel, although no one was injured. The violence represented the most serious break in a ceasefire agreed in mid-June, yet both sides suggested they wanted to return to atmosphere of calm....
Until now it had appeared both Israel and Hamas, which seized full control of Gaza last summer, had an interest in maintaining the ceasefire. For Israel it has meant an end to the daily barrage of rockets landing in southern towns, particularly Sderot. For Gazans it has meant an end to the regular Israeli military raids that have caused hundreds of casualties, many of them civilian, in the past year. Israel, however, has maintained its economic blockade on the strip, severely limiting imports and preventing all exports from Gaza.
