Cairo, August 19 (RHC)-- Israel and Hamas renewed their ceasefire Monday night for another 24 hours, but the truce was broken early Tuesday morning when Israel renewed air attacks on Gaza.

Palestinian negotiators say the 24-hour extension would have been the last and that Palestinian delegates are unified in their demands, which include an easing of the Israeli blockade of Gaza.

The two sides have reportedly narrowed differences on some issues but remain at an impasse on others, including the opening of an airport and seaport for Gaza, as well as the release of hundreds of Palestinian prisoners.
