Source: Israel rejects partial truce offer by Islamic Jihad, Hamas

By Amos Harel, Aluf Benn, and Dalia Shehori, Ha'aretz Corresondents and agencies




Islamic militant groups said in a statement Sunday they will halt attacks within Israel for a week if the IDF ends strikes in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.

A senior Israeli security official dismissed the offer and said Israel had no choice but to continue to "act in self-defense" as long as the Palestinian Authority failed to "fight terrorism and make arrests."

"We are giving the enemy a period to stop its assassinations, destruction, killings and bombardments," said a statement by the military wings of Hamas and Islamic Jihad and two groups affiliated with Fatah. "In return, we will stop our martyrdom attacks and armed attacks within the borders of the occupied land of 1948 during this period, which will begin as of midnight December 10 until the end of the month of Ramadan."
