In the Gaza Strip, Palestinian militants are reporting that a ceasefire with Israel had been agreed. It comes after a weekend during which Palestinian militants launched hundreds of rockets into Israel prompting retaliatory air and artillery strikes. At least four Israelis and 23 Palestinians were killed.
Israel has not confirmed the truce, but its military has lifted emergency measures in place in southern Israel.
