A ceasefire between Israel and militant group Hamas held on Friday despite clashes between Israeli police and Palestinians at a Jerusalem mosque that was the flashpoint for 11 days of fighting, with life slowly returning to normal.
The reports came after US President Joe Biden called for a "significant de-escalation" in Israel's conflict with Gaza's armed groups ahead of a diplomatic push Thursday to stem the violence, as the sides traded further fire, GMA News said on their report.
Celebrations were heard on Gaza streets in the minutes after the truce began as cars honked their horns and some guns were fired in the air, AFP journalists said, while no alerts were sounded to warn of Hamas rockets being fired into Israel.
