    Israel agrees to 4-hour daily pauses in Gaza fighting to allow
    civilians to flee, White House says

    Israel has agreed to put in place four-hour daily humanitarian pauses
    in its assault on Hamas in northern Gaza starting on Thursday, the
    White House said, as President Joe Biden pressed Israelis for a
    multi-day stoppage in the fighting in a bid to release hostages held
    by the militant group.

    Somehow, this sounds ridiculous. I can't think of what I'd do
    differently because military strategy isn't my thing, but something
    about agreed-upon 4 hour pauses sounds ridiculous, ineffectual, and soon-to-be-violated by both sides.

    Most likely, no aerial bombing from Israel, and an attempt to reduce
    collateral damage.

    Thanks, I can imagine what it would be like. I can also imagine Hamas
    militants moseying through the line with the refugees, trying to escape/confuse. This won't end well, it never does.
