GAZA, March 12 (Reuters) - Hamas publicly set its terms on Wednesday for a ceasefire with Israel, calling for an end to Israeli raids in Palestinian territory and a reopening of Gaza border crossings.

Egypt has been trying to broker a truce that would also end Gaza rocket attacks against Israel by militants from Hamas and another Palestinian group, Islamic Jihad. (Reporting by Nidal al-Mughrabi, Writing by Jeffrey Heller in Jerusalem, Editing by Avida Landau)
