Israel And Gaza Militants Agree To Cease-Fire After Violence

After two days of intense fighting, a truce mediated by Egypt was reached. The conflict began with an Israeli air raid in Gaza City, killing an Islamic Jihad commander and his wife. Islamic Jihad retaliated with rockets, mostly intercepted by Israel's defense system, leading to further Israeli airstrikes. The violence resulted in 34 Palestinian deaths and over 60 injuries in Israel. Hamas condemned the airstrikes, while an Egyptian official outlined the ceasefire terms, including peaceful protests by Islamic Jihad and Israel's agreement to stop shooting at protesters. Despite the ceasefire, rockets were launched into Israel, with no immediate injuries reported.
