A Palestinian man rushes to the scene moments after an Israeli airstrike on Rafah, in the southern Gaza Strip, on Saturday. Four days of violence ended today after Israel and Gazans ageed a truce. Tit-for-tat attacks began on Friday after Israel killed Zuhair al-Qaisi, the head of the militant Popular Resistance Committees, in a targeted airstrike, prompting Palestinians, led by the militant group Islamic Jihad, to fire hundreds of rockets into southern Israel. Israel responded with further airstrikes. In all, 25 Palestinians have been reported killed and more than 80 injured in the violence.
