45 minutes to Game On...
"Hamas says Israel refused to extend the pause in fighting by another day in return for the release of 7 women and children and 3 bodies. Hamas said Israel rejected the offer even though Hamas made clear that these are all the women and children it was able to locate."
With 15 minutes left to dead line, the IDF says the cease-fire will continue.
For now...
Confirmed.
IDF and Hamas agreed to another 24hrs of cease fire.
Something spooked Hamas.

It wouldn't have any thing to do with two US carrier groups just off shore, would it?
Ok.
This I did not know.
Thanks.
My mistake, I thought that both the Ford and the Ike group were in the far eastern Med.
@corlin
Ike group is now in the Persian Gulf. There is at least one LA class SSN (?), one Seawolf SSN (?), and one Ohio class SSGN (?) skulking around somewhere south of or in the Gulf of Oman.
Ford group is still somewhere south of Cyprus with 1/3rd of the Marine Amphibious group. Along with two LA class SSN(?) and one Ohio class SSGN.
The other 2/3rd's of the Marine Amp group are still in the Red Sea with 3 Burke class DDG's.
(?) = Unconfirmed/unconfirmable.
