Israeli Security Cabinet Voted to Agree to a Ceasefire. UPDATE: Hamas Has Now Agreed to the Ceasefire

The Israeli Security Cabinet has just concluded a three-hour meeting where they voted in support of a ceasefire, Israeli media are reporting.

CNN’s Nic Robertson reported on the news from Ashdot, Israel, telling CNN Newsroom anchors Alisyn Camerota and Victor Blackwell that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had gone to the security cabinet to discuss a potential ceasefire with them.

Robertson noted that CNN had not yet independently verified the information and the details were still unknown, including when it was supposed to go into effect. He could still hear Israeli jets flying overhead as he made his report.

A ceasefire was broadly expected after 10 days of fighting, with international pressure supporting a ceasefire plus the fact that the Israeli military had largely met their goal of reducing Hamas’ capabilities by completing their list of targets they could hit from the air, without a ground invasion.

The conflict had included “4,000 rockets [that] have been fired by Hamas, the most intense barrage of rockets over a sustained period that the Israeli forces have faced,” said Robertson, with more than 230 people killed in Gaza, 12 people killed in Israel, and the estimated damage in the area “running into the hundreds of billions of dollars,” according to the UN.

Local Israelis still had major concerns about Hamas’ ability to fire rockets, with one woman telling Robertson that she was not happy about a ceasefire “because we live close to here and we don’t want Hamas to have rockets.”

UPDATE 4:05 pm: Jake Tapper reported that CNN had verified the ceasefire agreement, and also that Hamas had agreed as well.
