A ceasefire agreement between Hamas and Israel appears to be holding following one of the worst days in violence in the Gaza Strip since the 2014 Gaza war, Al Jazeera reports.
Hamas said on Wednesday that armed groups in the Gaza Strip had agreed to a deal with Israel following a night of air strikes targeting several Hamas and Islamic Jihad positions in the coastal enclave.
"A number of mediators intervened in the past hours and an agreement was reached to return to a ceasefire in Gaza", Hayya said in a statement.
