Gaza saw a fourth day of intense fighting between the military wing of Hamas and forces loyal to Hamas's rival, Fatah. Then, yet another cease-fire was announced.

The latest truce declaration came after a bloody day that left at least 15 Palestinians dead and dozens of others wounded.

Five more Palestinians were killed by Israeli air strikes. Israel struck in response to rocket fire on nearby Israeli communities.
