Palestinians inspect damaged buildings that were hit by Israeli airstrikes during the recent military conflict between Israel and the Palestinian enclave controlled by Hamas. Israel and Hamas have reached an agreement on the ceasefire after days of fighting in which around 230 Palestinians were killed in Israeli airstrikes and 12 people in Israel were killed by rocket fire from the Gaza Strip.

Order from Chaos

Congratulations on the ceasefire. Now the hard work begins.
