Hamas, Israel agree to a six months ceasefire agreement- report
Jerusalem Post, May 20, 2019

Israel and Hamas agreed to a 6-month ceasefire understanding effective immediately, Channel 12 news reported on Monday evening.  Hamas agreed to end clashes with IDF forces near the Gaza Security fence and to keep a 300 meter distance from it, Channel 12 said. 

The terrorist organization also purportedly agreed to end night raids meant to engage IDF units stationed along the border and end Hamas boats traveling near the Gaza shore.

Israel in turn agreed to widen the Gazan fishing zone Gaza to 15 nautical miles and ensure the transfer of medicines and other forms of civic aid to Gaza residents, the report said. 

Israel will begin a negotiation process with Hamas to deal with electric power, health, funds, and border crossings.

In addition, Israel will promote UN programs that aim to employ Palestinians who reside in the Gaza Strip. 

Shortly after the report, reactions from all sides started to pile in.

This is known (in islam) as a hudna.

If you don't know what that is, look it up.

I looked it up.  It means precisely what I thought it did.
