TL;DR Summary

Israel, the US, and the UN thanked Egypt for mediating a ceasefire with the Palestinian Islamic Jihad terror group in Gaza, ending five days of intense fighting. The US commended Egypt and Qatar for their role in brokering the deal. The ceasefire took effect just after 10 p.m. on Saturday, with a last-minute burst of rocket fire from Gaza, as sirens sounded in southern and central Israel, and retaliatory Israeli airstrikes stretching several minutes past the deadline announced by Cairo.
