GAZA, April 10 (Reuters) - Palestinian militant groups in the Gaza Strip have agreed to Arab and United Nations proposals for a truce in the latest cross-border fighting with Israel, a Palestinian official close to the talks said on Sunday.
The official said they were told that Israel has also agreed in principle, but the Israeli side made no immediate comment.
Nineteen Palestinian militants and civilians in Hamas Islamist ruled Gaza have been killed sine Israel launched a series of air raids on Thursday after the critical wounding of a teenager by an anti-tank rocket fired at a school bus.
