Gaza conflict: Reports of ceasefire after days of violence

in #war • 5 years ago

There has been a lull in hostilities in the Gaza Strip after Palestinian militants said that a ceasefire with Israel had been agreed.

It comes after a weekend during which Palestinian militants launched hundreds of rockets into Israel prompting retaliatory air and artillery strikes.

At least four Israelis and 23 Palestinians were killed.

Israel has not confirmed the truce. The violence flared up on Friday during a protest against the blockade of Gaza.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has not mentioned the truce. Early on Monday it said militants had fired 690 rockets into southern Israel during the past 48 hours - 240 of which had been intercepted by the country's Iron Dome missile defence system.
