Israel - Palestine ceasefire: Palestinians pour onto Gaza streets to celebrate

Описание: #Israel #IsraelPalestine #Palestine

A statement from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's (inset top left) office said his Security Cabinet unilaterally approved the Egyptian-mediated proposal. Since the fighting began on May 10, health officials in Gaza say 232 Palestinians, including 65 children and 39 women, have been killed and more than 1,900 wounded in aerial bombardments. Israel says it has killed at least 160 combatants in Gaza. Authorities put the death toll in Israel at 12, with hundreds of people treated for injuries in rocket attacks that have caused panic and sent people rushing into shelters. Palestinians in the Gaza Strip lined the streets in celebration as the ceasefire came into effect, with many holding up their phones with the torch feature activated. Israel and Hamas announced a cease-fire would go into effect at 2am local time on Friday, and the agreement has now brought an end to the 11-day war that caused widespread destruction in the Gaza Strip and brought life in much of Israel to a halt. The decision came after heavy US pressure to halt the offensive. Pictured left and right: Palestinians celebrate as a cease-fire is brought about.
