JERUSALEM, Undefined (AFP) — A highly anticipated ceasefire between Israel and the Islamist Hamas militants who run the Palestinian Gaza Strip officially came into force early Friday at 2:00am (2300GMT Thursday). Only celebratory gunfire was heard on Gaza streets, AFP journalists said, while no Hamas rockets were fired on Israel in the minutes after the Egypt-brokered truce began, which seeks to end 11 days of deadly clashes. © Agence France-Presse
