Gazans celebrate as Israel-Hamas truce takes effect
Reuters, GAZA and JERUSALEM
A truce between Israel and Hamas began at 2am yesterday as scheduled by Egyptian mediators.
Palestinians, many of whom had spent 11 days huddled in fear of Israeli shelling, poured into Gaza’s streets.
In the countdown to the ceasefire, whose timing Hamas had confirmed, but Israel had not, Palestinian rocket salvoes continued and Israel carried out at least one airstrike.
