While Israel and Hezbollah were finalizing a cease-fire to halt the fighting in Lebanon, Israeli strikes killed 33 people in Gaza, according to local health authorities.

Analysts say significant gaps remain, including over the presence of Israeli troops in Gaza and Hamas’s future role.

A ceasefire deal that went into effect on Wednesday could end more than a year of cross-border fighting between Israel and Lebanon’s Hezbollah militant group, raising hopes and renewing difficult questions in a region gripped by conflict.
