An unofficial ceasefire was implemented on Wednesday morning along the Israel-Gaza border after fighting had escalated the night before due to the death of a jailed Palestinian.

The ceasefire was mediated by Egypt, Qatar, and the United Nations after over 100 rockets were fired into Israel, and Israel had launched airstrikes into Gaza.

Fighting escalated on Tuesday after the death of Khader Adnan, a leader of the Islamic Jihad Faction that has been designated by the West and Israel as a terror organization. Adnan, who has been detained at least 11 times since 2004, had been on a hunger strike for 87 days while he waited for his trail on security charges.
