The cease-fire mode between Israel and the Gaza sector entered into force at 02:00 (Moscow time) on May 21. This is reported by TASS.
According to local media, in the Gaza Strip, the “victory of resistance” is actively celebrating. Hundreds of people went to the streets of Ramalla and in honor of the end of the fighting, they launch salutes into the sky.
Previously, Israel received an Egyptian initiative on the bilateral cessation of fire with Palestine. According to the official statement of the press service of the government, the Israeli Cabinet of Security Ministers unanimously voted for this decision.
The aggravation of the conflict between Palestine and Israel began with clashes in East Jerusalem. Then, on May 10, Palestinian groupings of Hamas and Islamic jihad, based in the Gaza Strip, began a massive shelling of Israel – a total of over three thousand missiles were issued in the country. In response, the Israeli army called on five thousand reservists and caused air strikes for the purposes in the Gaza Strip. According to the latest data, 10 Israelis and 220 residents of the Gaza sector were killed from the beginning of the escalation of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
