DUBAI, Jan 7 (Reuters) - Hamas will not launch any missiles at Israeli targets as the Jewish state puts on hold military operation for a period expected to last three hours, the group's deputy leader said on Wednesday.

"There will be no missile launching in these three hours," Moussa Abu Marzouk told Al Arabiya television.

Israel on Wednesday put military operations in parts of the Gaza Strip on hold, for a period expected to last three hours, to enable aid to flow through a humanitarian corridor. (Reporting by Inal Ersan; Editing by Raissa Kasolowsky)
