GAZA/JERUSALEM - Gaza militants on Monday fired rockets toward Israel, which responded with air strikes, in the second day of an escalation that began to ebb after the Palestinian militant group Islamic Jihad announced a halt to its attacks.
The violence comes a week before an Israeli election in which Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is seeking a fifth term in office after two inconclusive votes. A Palestinian official later said that Israel and Islamic Jihad had reached a “reciprocal and simultaneous” ceasefire, brokered by Egypt and the United Nations and set to take effect at 23:30 .
The latest fighting began around dawn on Sunday when Israeli troops killed an Islamic Jihad member who was trying to plant explosives near Israel’s border fence with the Gaza Strip.
