Hopes for ceasefire in Gaza after talks
A ceasefire has come into effect between Israel and Palestinian militants.
There are hopes a ceasefire will hold between Israel and Palestinian militants, after three days of violence left at least 43 people dead. The latest violence is the most serious flare-up between Israel and Gaza since an 11-day conflict in May 2021.
