A ceasefire between Israel and Palestinian group in Gaza took hold on Thursday after two days of fighting triggered by an Israeli strike on an Islamic Jihad commander, with 34 Palestinians killed in exchanges of fire. Both Islamic Jihad and Israel’s military confirmed the ceasefire early on Thursday, which was brokered by Egyptian and UN officials.
The agreement, which entered into force at 5:30am came after the death toll from Israeli air strikes had risen to 34 since Tuesday. Islamic Jihad said several more of its members were among those killed. (AFP)
