Israeli authorities announced that an Egypt-brokered ceasefire between Islamic Jihad and the Israeli occupation has taken effect in Gaza Strip after two days of the most intensive fighting for months.

Clashes erupted after the assassination of the commander for Palestinian militant group Islamic Jihad, Baha Abu Al-Ata earlier on Tuesday, November 12, 2019.

Since the Israeli aggression on Gaza Strip started, around 34 Palestinians have been killed and over 100 have been left with injuries.
