FRANCE 24 English published this video item, entitled “Israel-Palestinian ceasefire takes hold” – below is their description.
A ceasefire between #Israel and #Hamas, the Islamist movement which controls the #Gaza Strip, appeared to be holding Friday after 11 days of deadly fighting that pounded the Palestinian enclave and forced countless Israelis to seek shelter from rockets. Palestinians rallied by the thousands early Friday after the cease-fire took effect in the latest Gaza war, with many viewing it as costly but clear victory for the Islamic militant group Hamas over a far more powerful Israel. Like the three previous wars between the bitter enemies, the latest round of fighting ended inconclusively. Israel also claimed to have inflicted heavy damage on Hamas with hundreds of bruising airstrikes but once again was unable to halt the rockets.
