Calm back in Gaza following ceasefire agreement

Monday 6-May-2019

Palestinian officials said that a ceasefire agreement has been reached with the Israeli occupation after three days of deadly attacks on the Gaza Strip.

A well-informed source told the PIC reporter that the United Nations Qatar and Egypt helped mediate an end to the three-day aggression.

The Gaza-based al-Aqsa TV channel said that the ceasefire agreement came into effect at 4:30 am on Monday and no Israeli raids on the besieged area have been reported ever since.

According to Gaza’s Ministry of Health 25 Palestinian civilians including two pregnant mothers and three infants were killed in the attacks and at least 150 injured.

Israeli warplanes targeted dozens of civilian facilities in the Gaza Strip as the Palestinians there were preparing for the holy month of Ramadan including residential buildings shops mosques and media offices.

Meanwhile the Palestinian resistance fighters launched rocket attacks on Israeli illegal settlements and military posts killing four Israeli settlers and injuring dozens others.
