STORYLINE:
Bright flashes and a rising plume of smoke were visible in the Gaza Strip from southern Israel on Wednesday.

Israel and the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah, a key Hamas ally, agreed to a ceasefire late November.

More than 45,000 Palestinians have now been killed in the war in Gaza between Israel and Hamas militants, health officials in the embattled territory said on Monday, as often-stalled ceasefire negotiations appeared to be gaining ground.
