Israel and Palestinian groups have agreed to a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip mediated by Egypt, Qatar and the UN. This was reported by Reuters on Wednesday, citing a Palestinian official.
According to his information, the ceasefire is already in effect.
The Israeli army reported on Tuesday that Palestinian groups from the Gaza Strip fired rockets into Israeli territory. In response, the Israeli military struck the Gaza Strip.
As Kan Radio noted, the Palestinian rocket attacks followed the death in an Israeli prison of Khader Adnan, an activist from the radical Palestinian group Islamic Jihad who had been on hunger strike for about three months. He had been charged for involvement in terrorist activities and had refused medical treatment, the radio station pointed out.
According to Kan, at least one person suffered shrapnel wounds near the Israeli city of Sderot in a rocket attack. According to Channel 12, three people were injured in the Tuesday afternoon strike. In addition, at least five Palestinians were injured in the Israeli shelling.
