Israel and Hamas Agree to Four-Day Cease-Fire, Offering Temporary Respite from Weeks of Violence

A four-day cease-fire between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip began Friday, offering a temporary respite from weeks of violence and setting the stage for the exchange of hostages. The halt in fighting is part of a deal that calls for Hamas to free at least 50 hostages and Israel to release dozens of Palestinians from its prisons. If the cease-fire holds, it would be the longest lull in fighting since the war began.
