  1. An official in the Palestinian Islamic Jihad movement (PIJ) announced on Saturday that an Egyptian-brokered ceasefire agreement had been reached between the movement and Israel in the Gaza Strip.

    The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, told Xinhua that the ceasefire would come into effect at 10:00 p.m. local time (1900 GMT) and would end the five-day confrontation that started on Tuesday.

    The Palestinian Health Ministry in Gaza said that 33 Palestinians were killed, including six children, three women, and seven senior PIJ militants, and more than 150 were injured in the past five days.

    However, the official said that until now, the PIJ has not issued any official statement on the ceasefire, and the coming hours will be crucial.

    There was no immediate confirmation from Israel about the ceasefire.
