According to the media reports, the hectic diplomatic efforts continued to broker a ceasefire to end the 10 days of conflict that has killed 237 Palestinians.
It is reported that almost five-hour ceasefire was observed on the
request of the United Nations for humanitarian reasons, but hostilities
quickly resumed after it ended.As a result four children were killed in an Israeli airstrike in the heart of Gaza city. Two Palestinians were injured in another airstrike. Three Palestinians were killed in the tank shelling in the east of Gaza Strip. At least 17 persons were injured after a hospital in Gaza’s Shejaiya district came under Israeli fire. Israel also shot down a Hamas drone.
UN Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process Robert Serry
had asked Israel for a humanitarian ceasefire following an incident in
which four Palestinian children were killed on a beach in Gaza.The two
sides agreed to the ceasefire to allow Palestinians to stock up on food,
water and other necessities.Whereas, the poor Palestinians rushed to shops and banks as the five-hour truce agreed by Israel and Hamas came into force.
