STORYLINE:
Explosions lit up the night sky over the Gaza Strip on Friday.
That happened as Israel’s full Cabinet was meeting to discuss the Gaza ceasefire deal that would pause the fighting and release dozens of hostages held by Hamas militants along with Palestinian prisoners held by Israel.
Israel’s security cabinet hours earlier recommended approving the deal brokered by mediators the United States, Qatar and Egypt in months of indirect talks between the warring sides.
This would be just the second ceasefire achieved in 15 months of war.
The prime minister’s office has said that if a deal is approved, the ceasefire could start Sunday with the first hostages released.
Israel’s offensive has killed over 46,000 people in Gaza, mostly women and children, according to the Health Ministry.
It does not say how many of the dead were militants. Israel says it has killed over 17,000 fighters, without providing evidence.
