Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that it was “clear that this is not the end of the campaign,” hours after a ceasefire to end a surge of deadly violence in the Gaza Strip and southern Israel took hold on Monday.

The latest round of hostilities erupted three days ago, peaking on Sunday when rockets and missiles from Hamas Islamist-run Gaza killed four civilians in Israel, local health officials said. Israeli strikes killed 21 Palestinians, over half of them civilians, at the weekend, Gaza health authorities said.

Dear Father God, I pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Father God, please protect You people from the barrage of rocket attacks against them. Father God, I pray for an end to the hostilities. Father, I also pray for the Palestinians who live in Gaza. Lord, please liberate them from the chains of Hamas rule. I pray in Jesus Name, amen.
