Hamas' armed wing spokesperson said on Friday that while the group favours reaching an interim truce in the Gaza war, if such an agreement is not reached in current negotiations it could revert to insisting on a full package deal to end the conflict.

The deal comes more than 20 months into the conflict -- and more than three months after a previous deal ended.

Hamas' armed wing accused Israel of rejecting a proposed comprehensive ceasefire and hostage deal, warning future partial-deal offers may be off the table.
