Israel to suspend aerial operations for 48 hours, US says

I'm watching Al-Jazeera now. The channel has just announced that the US State Department said Israel agreed to suspend aerial operations for 48 hours, and will investigate what happened in Qana.

UPDATE: Now Al-Jazeera is saying that "Israel's temporary suspension of aerial bombardments does not cover missile launch batteries."
