Southern residents protest after Israel reportedly accepts Gaza truce

Residents of southern Israel are protesting after media reports said Israel accepted an Egyptian-mediated ceasefire deal with Hamas amid a major flare-up of violence in and around the Palestinian territory.

Dozens gathered at the entrance to the city of Sderot, burning tires and blocking the road leading to the southern city.

Police say in a statement that officers are being dispatched to disperse the protesters.
