Silence over Gaza: 72-hour ceasefire begins, bringing a temporary end to three weeks of rocket attacks and airstrikes that killed 1,450 Palestinians and 60 Israelis
‘At least four Palestinians have been killed by Israeli tank fire barely one hour after Israel and Hamas began observing a three-day ceasefire, Gaza officials have said.
Health Ministry official Ashraf al-Kidra and Gaza police spokesman Ayman Batniji said 15 other Palestinians were wounded in the shelling east of the southern Gaza city of Rafah.
Palestinian sources also claimed three other people were shot by Israeli sniper fire.’
