US pausing drone flights over Gaza during truce -Pentagon

The U.S. military has paused its flights of surveillance drones over Gaza during the truce between Israel and Palestinian militant group Hamas, the Pentagon said on Tuesday.

"In compliance with the agreement reached between Israel and Hamas, we are not currently conducting those ISR flights. And so those have been paused for now," Pentagon spokesperson Brigadier General Patrick Ryder told a press conference, using an acronym for drones.

The U.S. military had been carrying out drone flights to aid with the search for American hostages taken by Hamas.
