Jun. 28--JERUSALEM--Israel agreed Friday to cede security control of much of the Gaza Strip to the Palestinians, and a key leader of the radical Islamic group Hamas said there soon would be a three-month halt to attacks on Israeli targets.

Should the Gaza agreement and the cease-fire hold, the developments would represent significant progress toward the so-called road map to peace promoted by President Bush.

Even as the talks proceeded among Israelis and Palestinians over Gaza and among militant Palestinian groups over the cease-fire, Israeli troops continued attacking Hamas, battling its loyalists in southern Gaza early Friday. At least three Palestinians and an Israeli soldier were killed in the gun battles, which Israel said it initiated, acting on intelligence that a Hamas member was about to stage a suicide mission.
