After eight days of fighting between Israel and Gaza, a cease-fire established Wednesday appears to be holding.

The agreement, meanwhile, also demonstrates the diminishing role of the Palestinian Authority and the rise of Hamas.
But this morning, new violence erupted after reports Israeli troops opened fire in a buffer zone with Gaza, killing at least one Palestinian and wounding 19, Hamas security and health officials said.
