"With Egyptian and United Nations efforts it has been agreed to return to the era of calm between (Israel) and Palestinian factions," Hamas spokesman Fawzi Barhoum was quoted as saying by Reuters.
The Jerusalem Post reported on Saturday that Israel and Hamas have agreed to cease fire in the Gaza Strip after a day of cross-border hostilities, adding that Palestinian armed groups in the enclave confirmed their willingness to bring back peace to mediators in Egypt.
"Egyptian and international efforts have brought a lull in fighting between the occupying forces and Palestinian groups," Barhum said.
Earlier in the day, Israeli forces unleashed a series of strikes on more than 40 Hamas military targets in the Gaza Strip.
"Israel's military said its aircraft and tanks targeted 40 Hamas posts and that the strikes formed part of a ‘wide-scale attack’ in response to the border shooting," IDF’s Jonathan Conricus tweeted.
The Israeli Defense Forces also said their jets and tanks pounded the militant group's infrastructure, attacking almost 70 targets throughout the enclave.
