i'm sorry kelly welcome to the program palestinian leaders in gaza have agreed to a cease fire with israel ending two days of violence that threatened to turn into all out war israel has not officially commented on that cease fire but its military has allowed schools and roads in southern israel to reopen so that residents can return to their daily lives in the hours since the agreement was reached it appears to be holding with no rockets fires or israeli strikes reported the escalation in violence began on saturday with rocket fire from militants in gaza prompting return strikes by israel at least twenty three palestinians and four israel were killed. let's bring in correspondent tonya kramer who has the latest from jerusalem so tanya we've heard that this cease fire has been in effect for a few hours now how is it holding up so far. well it appears to be holding since the early morning hours there have been no a rockets being
11:02 am
fired into southern israel from gaza and also there have been no more israeli airstrikes on gaza a palestinian media have reported that as of four thirty am this cease fire has gone into effect a cease fire that has been brokered this time again in mediated by egypt with the help of qatar and the united nations. and tania we know that one of the main sticking points one of the things that really sparked this most recent conflict was on the palestinian officials in gaza were saying that israel was not taking steps to ease its blockade under promise ceasefire deals of the past how likely is it that now we will see some steps to resolve this. well it's all about the implementation as you said hamas and islamic jihad another militant group in gaza they have accused israel of failing to implement understandings that
11:03 am
have been reached during the last time there was an escalation and was in late march and also at earlier times we've seen many of those escalations flaring up over the past year and we understand that this time also. the ceasefire or calm is based on those understandings that have included previously the lifting of some of the restrictions on gaza like expanding the fishing zone. getting in aid money from qatar the flow of more electricity into gaza now it's really all about this implementation but it also shows that without a longer term plan no solution political solution for the gaza strip which has been under blockade and has been under closure for over ten years now it's going to be highly likely that we see possibly other times of escalation trying to give in the tenuous situation there right now what is the mood.
11:04 am
well i think people on both sides are waiting to see actually two to know bit more about the understandings being reached i think in gaza there's a sense of relief it's also the first day of ramadan today has been very exhausting . weekend there and people really would like to see that some of those restrictions being lifted now in the south of israel as well and so many barrages of rockets have been. launched against communities their people have been confined mainly to their house or to the safe rooms but they also would probably like to see what is the result of all of this is just a period of calm and waiting for another escalation or will there be some solution at the end tanya kramer in jerusalem thank you tanya. now at least forty one people have been killed after
