Palestinians took to the streets in Gaza City as a truce between Israel and the militant Islamic Jihad went into effect late Saturday
White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre welcomed the ceasefire on Saturday night, joining the Israeli government in acknowledging Sisi's and Egypt's mediation efforts, and thanking Qatar's Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani.
Though happy about news of the truce, some Gaza residents, weary of repeated flare-ups, feared that another round of fighting would erupt before long. "We want the truce to be based on principles, not like in the past when after a calm people died," said resident Munir Marouf, 43. In response, the Iranian-backed group fired more than 1,000 rockets, sending Israelis fleeing into bomb shelters.
