'Fragile' Gaza truce between Israel and Islamic Jihad holds

An Egypt-brokered truce between Israel and Islamic Jihad in Gaza began, aiming to halt the worst fighting since last year's 11-day war.
The conflict claimed at least 44 Palestinian lives, including 15 children, and caused widespread destruction in Gaza, while Israelis endured rocket attacks.
Both sides agreed to the ceasefire but reserved the right to respond forcefully to any violations, with the deal including efforts for the release of two Palestinian prisoners.
International leaders, including US President Biden and UN envoy Tor Wennesland, welcomed the truce, emphasizing its fragility and calling for adherence and investigations into civilian casualties.
