Hundreds of demonstrators hit the streets of Jabalia refugee camp in the northern Gaza Strip on Tuesday, to celebrate an Egyptian-brokered truce with Israel. The apparent ceasefire was announced by Palestinian militant groups.
Israel has not directly confirmed the reported armistice.
The region’s latest outburst of violence began on Sunday, after a covert operation carried out by Israeli special forces inside Gaza was reportedly exposed, leaving an Israeli military officer and seven Palestinians dead, including a local Hamas commander.
The incident triggered what is believed to be the most intense fighting between the two sides since a brief war in 2014.
