this is the "cbs evening news." >> i am jeff glor with a western edition doff broadcast. and they have been trading missile fire for 20 days now. >> today they were also trading cease-fire proposals with no success. new smoke rose over gaza city today. israel's response after they said hamas fired a barrage of rockets this morning. there was a hope a 12-hour lull in the fighting yesterday might be extended. that hope ended as others have, violently. we have new details this evening. plus, more of charlie rose's interview with a leader of hamas. we start with don daylor, in tel aviv. >> the words "cease-fire," ceased to have clear meaning today. ten minutes after the humanitarian truce expired this morning, hamas rocket launchers roared to life. the i.d.s. says this video shows rockets being fired from a school in gaza. even as the explosive projectiles are flying, israel proposed another cease-fire of 24 hours, which hamas rejected,

only to propose their own, hours later. on cbs news' "face the nation," president benjamin netanyahu explained why israel was suspicious. >> now, they violated their own cease-fire and they are firing us as we speak. you know this is astounding. they violated their own cease- fire. israel is not obliged and will not a terrorist organization, a ruthless terrorist organization committed to our destruction, to decide where and when it is convenient for them to stop, rearm and continue firing on our citizens. >> international pressure to stop the fighting continues to build. president obama called netanyahu to personally urge him to find a way to peace. israel's defense force has been working through machine gun fire to destroy the network of tunnels it sees as the greatest threat to the nation's security. there is hope that goal can be accomplished within the next few days.

and today, in response to outrage over the killing of 15 civilians, mostly children, in a u.n. operated school last thursday, the i.d.f. released this video. it says it shows a single mortar shell exploding in the school's empty courtyard. according to israel, this proves it wasn't their fault, and they blame hamas. but it contradicts eyewitness reports that say the escort yard was full of people at the time and there was more than one explosion. the reaction to that video, even among israelis, has been skeptical, as to a larger issue of a long-term cease fire, the question remains whether israel will accede to hamas demands that the blockade on gaza be lifted, there are many in this country, who do not want this war to end until hammas is destroyed militarily as well as politically. >> john daylor tonight, thank you. >> cbs this morning co-host, charlie rose spoke with the head of hamas, khaled meshaal. in the interview, he claims the war on israel was based on

neither ethnicity nor religion. or ( translated ): we are not fanatics, not fundamentalists, we don't actually fight the jews because they are jews. we do not fight any other races. we fight the occupiers. on the contrary, we actually respect the religious people. we ask for tolerance for co- existence for buddhists, jews, christians and the muslims. as you know. god created us as nations, and the koran says that. in order for the nations to live together and to coexist without occupation-- >> i think i just heard you say, and this will close on this, you believe in the co-existence of peoples and therefore you clieve in the co-existence of palestinians and israelis in the middle east?

>> ( translated ): to co-exist without occupation. >> without occupation you can coexist? >> ( translated ): i'm ready to co-exist with the jews, with the christians with the arabs and non-arabs, and those who agree with my ideas and also not agree with them. however, i do not co-exist to with those who-- >> it is one thing to say you want co-exist with the jews, it's another thing that you want to co-exist with the state of israel. do you want to co-exist with the state of israel? do you want to represent-- do you want to recognize israel as a jewish state? >> ( translated ): no. i said i do not want to live with a state of occupiers. i do co-exist with other-- >> you mean they're no longer occupiers? at that point, do you want to co-exist and recognize their

right to exist? as they would recognize your right to exist? >> ( translated ): when we have anpalestinian state then the palestinian state will decide on it's policies. you cannot actually ask me about the future. i answered you. but palestinian people can have their say when they have their own state. without occupation, in natural situations, they can decide policies vis-a-vis others. >> thank you. >> you can see more of charlie's interview with hamas's khaled meshaal first thing tomorrow and on tomorrow evening on the pbs show, "charlie rose." >> two americans working in africa have tested positive for the ebola virus. both are part of a team fighting an outbreak that has killed at least 672 people since february. mark albert has more on this. >> kent brently knew the danger

but the 33-year-old doctor from indianapolis stayed to fight it, as did nancy ripoli, a hygienist from charlotte. the ebola virus is highly contagious with close contact and is fatal in up to 90% of cases. there is no known cure. doctors treating ebola patients wear full protective gear such as these synthetic suits and goggles. but brantly still got infected l did ripoli. vice president ken isaac says it is investigating how the 22 contracted the virus. >> dr. brantly and nancy are both in stable condition tonight. they have fevers. they have body aches and pains. they are not out of the woods yet. our prayer is that they survive. and tonight they are in stable condition. >> isaac says brantly and riple showed symptoms a few days ago,

and a cdc test confirmed the diagnosis the same day a senior doctor died of ebola. william shafler is an infectious disease expert at vanderbilt university. >> this is a very dangerous infection and every person who takes care of these people pderstands there's a risk, even if you are perfect in using all the gear. >> fears of the outbreak have prompted neighboring nigeria to screen incoming passengers for symptoms of the illness. the risk from casual contact from people who have come back back africa is really zero. the fact that you have to have intimate contact with people's bodily fluids puts you at risk. >> reporter: a group of doctors and nurses from children's aurgery international surgery in minneapolis cancelled their mission to liberia to provide free surgeries for 200 kids, the group decided the danger is just too great. mark albert, cbs news, washington. >> france today told it's
