12:12Now PlayingThe Hamas leadership says it has accepted the terms of a ceasefire deal in Gaza.
In a statement, the group says it has informed Qatari and Egyptian mediators of its decision.
An Israeli official has said that Hamas has approved a "softened" Egyptian proposal that is not acceptable to Israel," Reuters reports.
The announcement comes as Israel has urged 100,000 Palestinians to leave eastern Rafah ahead of a "limited" military operation.
The war began when Hamas fighters stormed into southern Israel on 7 October, killing about 1,200 people and seizing 252 hostages, according to Israeli tallies.
More than 34,700 people have been killed in Gaza since then, the Hamas-run health ministry says.
