Ceasefire Holds After Gaza Violence Kills 4 Palestinians, 1 Israeli

HeadlineJul 23, 2018

In Israel, a fragile ceasefire remains in effect, after four Palestinians and one Israeli soldier were killed during violence Friday along the border with Gaza. During the flare-up, Israel launched dozens of strikes it said were targeted at Hamas rockets and mortars. The death of the Israeli soldier was the first since Palestinians launched weekly nonviolent protests at the border in March. Israeli forces have shot and killed at least 140 Palestinians during those protests, while wounding thousands of others. We’ll have the latest from Israel and Palestine later in the broadcast.
