Israeli aircraft carry out overnight strikes on Gaza

Earlier on Tuesday, media reports coming from Cairo quoted Hamas negotiator to the truce talks with Egypt Ayman Taha as saying that it was agreed to extend the ceasefire until February 5.

Hamas has, meanwhile, said in a written statement that the movement accepted to extend the ceasefire, but has not accepted yet a truce agreement. However, Egypt hoped a longer- term truce to be announced on early February.
