Israel and Gaza militants agree fragile truce

10/25/2012

A fragile truce took effect between Israel and Gaza-based Palestinian militants early on 25 October, bringing a tentative end to a period of escalating violence between the two sides.

Sporadic rocket salvos were fired after the truce nominally came into effect but as of 1200 local time, the ceasefire appeared to be holding.

IHS Jane's sources in the region late on 25 October said Egyptian intelligence services were instrumental in contacting the leaders of the various Palestinian factions to reach a truce.
