Egyptian efforts at Gaza cease-fire fail

Egyptian officials say efforts to persuade Palestinian operatives in Gaza to hold their rocket fire on Israel have failed, after a day of deadly, escalated violence.

 

The officials say they tried to arrange a cease-fire set at 3 am Sunday, but did not win agreement from factions responsible for the rocket attacks. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the mediation efforts. (AP)
