Israel's Iron Dome anti-missile system fires to intercept rockets launched from the Gaza Strip towards Israel just before a cease-fire between Palestinians and Israel takes effect, in Ashkelon southern Israel, Sunday, Aug. 7, 2022. A cease-fire between Israel and Palestinian militants has taken effect in a bid to end nearly three days of violence that has killed dozens of Palestinians. Egyptian officials had worked to bring the sides to an agreement after the flare-up of fighting that saw Israeli aircraft pound targets in Gaza and militants fire hundreds of rockets that reached deep into Israel.
