Gaza truce holds

Israel increased the trickle of badly needed goods flowing into the Gaza Strip today, a military spokesman said, in the latest stage of a four-day-old truce with Hamas militants.

A total of 90 truckloads of supplies were set to enter Gaza throughout the day, up from between 60 and 70 before the truce went into effect, said spokesman 2nd Lt. Gil Karie. Further increases are expected if the quiet continues.
