Israel, Palestine reach ceasefire agreement to stop Gaza attacks
Tehran (KNA) - Palestine says a ceasefire agreement has been reached with Israel, after 25 people were killed in three days of Israeli attacks on the besieged Gaza enclave, which were responded to with homemade rockets from Palestinian groups.
That was announced both by two Palestinian officials familiar with the agreement and the Hamas Resistance Movement's media outlet.
"The ceasefire understanding will begin Monday 04:30 (01:30 GMT)," one of the officials told Reuters.
Earlier, Gaza's Health Ministry said at least 25 people have been killed and 154 others injured in the fresh flare-up of violence in the enclave.
Two pregnant women and a 14-month-old baby were among the fatalities.
The upsurge in violence came after the Israeli prime minister ordered the military to continue massive strikes on the enclave. Benjamin Netanyahu also said Israeli forces around Gaza would be reinforced.
