GAZA/JERUSALEM â An Egyptian-mediated truce between Israel and Hamas began on Friday, but Hamas warned it still had its âhands on the triggerâ and demanded Israel end the violence in Jerusalem and address the damages in Gaza Strip after the worst fighting in years.Â
US President Joseph R. Biden, Jr., pledged to salve the devastated Gaza. Aerial bombardment of the densely populated area killed 232 Palestinians, while rocket attacks killed 12 people in Israel during the conflict.Â
Palestinians, many of whom had spent 11 days huddled in fear of Israeli shelling, poured into Gazaâs streets. Mosque loud-speakers feted âthe victory of the resistance achieved over the Occupation (Israel).âÂ
