Ceasefire is holding, IDF says

One night into an open-ended truce in the Gaza Strip, the Israeli military says there have been no reports of violations since it went into effect on 7 p.m. yesterday.

IDF spokesman Peter Lerner tweets that though the truce has been holding for 12 hours, the military “remains prepared for any development and will continue to be the protective edge for Israel.”
