Gaza truce can be extended for another two days - Egyptian sources

Negotiators seeking to prolong the six-day truce in Gaza believe it can be extended for another two days, two Egyptian security sources said on Wednesday.

The number of civilian hostages held by Hamas who would be released under the extension was still being worked out, the sources said.

Negotiations for the release of civilian hostages were going well, but military hostages held by Hamas presented an obstacle, the sources added.
