Gaza Update: Ceasefire begins after intense 48 hours

BEIRUT, LEBANON (3:20 P.M.) - A ceasefire has begun in the Gaza Strip after a tumultuous 48 hours of nonstop hostilities between the Israeli and Palestinian sides.

As a result of these hostilities, at least 14 Palestinians and 2 Israelis were killed.

The hostilities began on Sunday evening when the Israeli Special Forces carried out a botched operation to target a Hamas commander in the town of Khan Younis.

An intense exchange would breakout shortly after the botched Israeli attack; this resulted in eight Palestinians killed on the first night.

The new ceasefire was reportedly brokered by Egypt and the United Nations earlier today.
