Two Palestinians killed by Israeli tank fire in southern Gaza 

At least two Palestinians have been killed by Israeli tank fire in the Tal as-Sultan neighborhood, west of Rafah, in southern Gaza, the enclave’s Civil Defence officials told Al Jazeera.

Israel and Hamas agreed to a ceasefire after an agreement that went into effect on Sunday.

The initial phase is scheduled to last six weeks, and will involve a limited prisoner exchange, the partial withdrawal of Israeli troops in Gaza and a surge of aid into the enclave.
