An Egyptian state-run television channel says Egypt has brokered an 'immediate' cease-fire between Israel and Palestinian militants. There was no immediate confirmation from Israel or Islamic Jihad, the militant group involved in the latest fighting.
Rockets are launched from the Gaza Strip towards Israel, in Gaza, Wednesday, May 10, 2023. Palestinian militants fired dozens of rockets from the Gaza Strip into Israel on Wednesday, in a first response to Israeli airstrikes that have killed 16 Palestinians, including three senior militants and at least 10 civilians. Rockets are launched from the Gaza Strip towards Israel, in Gaza, Wednesday, May 10, 2023.
The rocket fire set off air-raid sirens throughout southern Israel and as far away as Tel Aviv, on the Mediterranean Sea, 80 kilometers away. Residents had been bracing for an attack since Israel launched its first airstrikes early Tuesday. Late Wednesday, Egypt’s Extra News television channel, which has close ties to Egyptian security agencies, said it had brokered a cease-fire. Egyptian intelligence frequently mediates between Israel and Palestinian militants in Gaza and has brokered past cease-fires.
The Israeli military said that for the first time, an air-defense system known as David’s Sling intercepted a rocket. The system, developed with the U.S., is meant to intercept medium-range threats and is part of a multi-layered air defense that also includes the better-known Iron Dome anti-rocket system.
The army said that schools would remain closed and restrictions on large gatherings would remain in place in southern Israel until at least Friday.
