Israel and Palestinian Islamic Jihad reach ceasefire agreement after week-long violence.

Israel and Palestinian Islamic Jihad have agreed to a ceasefire, according to Egyptian diplomats in Gaza. The ceasefire was scheduled to take effect at 10 p.m. local time (3 p.m. ET), the Egyptian commission in Gaza said. The fighting has claimed at least 33 Palestinians in Gaza and one Palestinian man working in Israel. More than 1,000 rockets have been launched so far at Israel, who have struck more than 250 targets in Gaza as part of its “Shield and Arrow” campaign, now in its fifth day. Clashes also took place on Saturday morning in the occupied West Bank and at least two Palestinian men were killed. Talks to bring about a ceasefire between the warring groups are “on ice right now.”
