Soldiers retaliated with tear-gas canisters, stun grenades, and live ammunition in some cases.

The ceasefire will take effect at 9 p.m. Cairo time, 1900 GMT. Both sides agreed in principal for a truce, but there was no agreement on the key demands—leading to a second phase of talks that will address the issues that Clinton will be involved in. "There is no substitute for a just and lasting peace," Clinton said. Israeli sources told Reuters that although the country agreed to a truce, it would not lift the blockade. In the eight days of fighting, more than 140 Palestinians and five Israelis have died. Read it at Reuters LIBERATION Congolese Rebels Head for Capital Set sights on President Joseph Kabila.
