Opening Thursday, the long-awaited, much-expected, newly-polished Hamas cease-fire with Israel.

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip - Gaza’s Hamas rulers on Tuesday said they have reached a long-awaited cease-fire with Israel meant to end months of Palestinian assaults on Israeli border towns and bruising Israeli retaliation.

The announcement came shortly after Egypt, which has been trying to broker the truce for months, said the cease-fire would go into effect on Thursday. Israel refused to confirm a deal, but said a “new reality” would take hold if Palestinian attacks end.

I’m giving it about 6 hours before Hamas tries to kill somebody.
