加沙市，加沙地带——数百名蒙面的哈马斯战士挥舞着突击步枪在加沙市游行，该组织的最高领导人周六首次公开露面，在激进分子与以色列11天的战争后挑衅性地展示了力量。
周六标志着停火的第一天，埃及调解人举行会谈，以巩固停火，结束了10多年来第四次以色列-哈马斯战争。
在战斗中，以色列对加沙的激进分子目标发动了数百次空袭，而哈马斯和其他激进分子向以色列发射了4000多枚火箭。250多人被杀，其中绝大多数是巴勒斯坦人。
在加沙市，居民开始评估损失。
加沙市最繁忙的商业区之一奥马尔·穆赫塔尔街(Omar al-Mukhtar Street)在以色列的一次空袭中被夷为平地，该市中心的一栋13层建筑被碎片、破碎的汽车和扭曲的金属覆盖。商品被烟灰覆盖，散落在被砸碎的商店里和人行道上。市政工人清扫街道和人行道上的碎玻璃和扭曲的金属。
“我们真的没想到会有这么大的损失，”出售婴儿服装的阿舒尔·苏贝赫说。“我们认为罢工离我们有点远。但是你可以看到，商店里没有一个地方是完整的。”经营一年后，苏比估计他的损失是目前的两倍。
无人机视频和照片显示，一些城市街区被夷为平地，房屋和企业之间仍然矗立着。
以色列和哈马斯都宣称取得了胜利。
周六，数百名身穿迷彩服的哈马斯战士走过为在战斗中丧生的高级指挥官巴萨姆·伊萨(Bassem Issa)准备的哀悼帐篷。加沙的哈马斯最高领导人耶希耶·辛瓦尔在战争开始以来的首次公开露面中表达了他的敬意。
以色列轰炸了辛瓦尔的房子，以及其他哈马斯高级人物的房子，作为对他们所说的该组织军事基础设施的攻击的一部分。以色列国防部长本尼·甘茨(Benny Gantz)表示，以色列对哈马斯实施了惩罚性打击，哈马斯高层人物仍然是目标。
尽管如此，人们普遍预期停火会暂时维持下去，即使在某个时刻另一轮战斗似乎不可避免。根本问题仍未解决，包括以色列-埃及边境封锁(现已进入第14个年头)，该封锁令加沙200多万居民窒息，以及伊斯兰激进组织哈马斯拒绝解除武装。
联合国安理会周六发表声明，对停火表示欢迎，并强调“迫切需要向巴勒斯坦平民，特别是加沙地带的巴勒斯坦平民提供人道主义援助”。
数千人在以色列城市特拉维夫集会，呼吁犹太人和阿拉伯人共存。
战斗于5月10日开始，当时加沙的哈马斯武装分子向耶路撒冷发射了远程火箭。在巴勒斯坦抗议者和以色列警察在阿克萨清真寺大院发生数天冲突后，炮击发生了。警察在该大院的高压策略以及犹太定居者威胁驱逐数十个巴勒斯坦家庭加剧了紧张局势。
这场战争使哈马斯的主要政治对手、国际支持的巴勒斯坦权力机构进一步边缘化，该机构监管以色列占领的西岸的自治飞地。哈马斯的受欢迎程度似乎越来越高，因为它将自己定位为巴勒斯坦对耶路撒冷主张的捍卫者。
周五，停火生效几个小时后，阿克萨清真寺内数千名巴勒斯坦人高呼反对巴勒斯坦总统马哈茂德·阿巴斯及其自治政府。“巴勒斯坦权力机构的狗，出来，出来，”他们喊道，“人民希望总统离开。”
这是对阿巴斯前所未有的愤怒表现。无论是在被占领的西岸、加沙还是在以色列境内，这场冲突还使巴勒斯坦人对现状深感沮丧，以色列-巴勒斯坦和平进程几乎被搁置多年。
尽管阿巴斯的地位被削弱，但他将是美国任何新外交的接触点，因为以色列和西方，包括美国，都认为哈马斯是一个恐怖组织。
美国国务卿安东尼·布林肯将在下周访问时会见阿巴斯和以色列领导人。阿巴斯预计将提出要求，任何加沙重建计划都必须通过巴勒斯坦权力机构，以避免加强哈马斯。
据巴勒斯坦官方通讯社Wafa报道，阿巴斯周六会见了埃及调解人，讨论了加沙的重建和巴勒斯坦内部关系。
一名埃及外交官表示，两个调解小组正在以色列和巴勒斯坦领土上继续就巩固停火协议和确保长期平静进行谈判。
这位外交官说，讨论包括在加沙和耶路撒冷实施商定的措施，包括防止导致最近战斗的做法。他没有详细说明。他显然指的是阿克萨清真寺的暴力事件和计划将巴勒斯坦家庭从东耶路撒冷的谢赫贾拉社区驱逐出去。
这位外交官要求匿名，以讨论幕后的审议。
另外，据边境口岸的一名埃及高级官员称，周六，一个由130辆卡车组成的车队携带人道主义援助和医疗用品从埃及抵达加沙边境。他要求匿名，因为他没有被授权对记者说话。
在整个加沙，对该领土已经破旧的基础设施的损害评估已经开始。
公共工程和住房部表示，769个住房和商业单元无法居住，258栋建筑中至少有1042个单元被毁，14500多个单元受到轻微损坏。
联合国表示，加沙约80万人无法定期获得干净的自来水，因为近50%的供水网络在战斗中受损。
以色列表示，它的目标是哈马斯的军事基础设施，包括道路和房屋下的巨大隧道系统，以及指挥中心、火箭发射器和指挥官的住宅。以色列军方表示，他们试图将对平民的伤害降至最低，并指责哈马斯将平民用作人盾。
加沙卫生部表示，至少248名巴勒斯坦人被杀，包括66名儿童和39名妇女，1910人受伤。它没有区分战士和平民。以色列有12人被杀，除一人外，其余均为平民，包括一名5岁男孩和一名16岁女孩。
以色列指责哈马斯和较小的激进组织伊斯兰圣战组织隐瞒了战争中死亡的实际人数。内塔尼亚胡总理星期五说，200多名激进分子被打死，其中包括25名高级指挥官。
周六，伊斯兰圣战组织首次报告了其队伍中的死亡人数，称其19名指挥官和战斗人员被打死，包括加沙北部火箭部队的负责人。
Hamas defiant with military parade, appearance of top leader
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip -- Hundreds of masked Hamas fighters brandishing assault rifles paraded in Gaza City and the group’s top leader made his first public appearance on Saturday, in a defiant show of strength after the militants' 11-day war with Israel.
Saturday marked the first full day of a cease-fire, and Egyptian mediators held talks to firm up the truce which ended the fourth Israel-Hamas war in just over a decade.
In the fighting, Israel unleashed hundreds of airstrikes against militant targets in Gaza, while Hamas and other militants fired more than 4,000 rockets toward Israel. More than 250 people were killed, the vast majority of them Palestinians.
In Gaza City, residents began assessing damage.
One of Gaza City's busiest commercial areas, Omar al-Mukhtar Street, was covered in debris, smashed cars and twisted metal after a 13-floor building in its center was flattened in an Israeli airstrike. Merchandise was covered in soot and strewn inside smashed stores and on the pavement. Municipal workers swept broken glass and twisted metal from streets and sidewalks.
“We really didn’t expect this amount of damage," said Ashour Subeih, who sells baby clothes. “We thought the strike was a bit further from us. But as you can see not an area of the shop is intact.” Having been in business for one year, Subeih estimated his losses were double what he has made so far.
Drone video and photos showed some city blocks reduced to rubble, in between homes and businesses left standing.
Both Israel and Hamas have claimed victory.
On Saturday, hundreds of Hamas fighters wearing military camouflage paraded past the mourning tent for Bassem Issa, a senior commander killed in the fighting. The top Hamas leader in Gaza, Yehiyeh Sinwar, paid his respects in his first public appearance since the war began.
Israel bombed the house of Sinwar, along with that of other senior Hamas figures, as part of its attack on what it said was the group's military infrastructure. Israel's defense minister, Benny Gantz, has said Israel delivered a punishing blow to Hamas, and that top Hamas figures remained targets.
Still, there was a widespread expectation that the cease-fire would stick for now, even if another round of fighting at some point seems inevitable. Underlying issues remain unresolved, including an Israeli-Egyptian border blockade, now in its 14th year, that is choking Gaza's more than 2 million residents and a refusal by the Islamic militant Hamas to disarm.
The U.N. Security Council released a statement Saturday, welcoming the cease-fire and stressing “the immediate need for humanitarian assistance to the Palestinian civilian population, particularly in Gaza.”
Thousands rallied in the Israeli city of Tel Aviv, calling for coexistence between Jews and Arabs.
The fighting began on May 10, when Hamas militants in Gaza fired long-range rockets toward Jerusalem. The barrage came after days of clashes between Palestinian protesters and Israeli police at the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound. Heavy-handed police tactics at the compound and the threatened eviction of dozens of Palestinian families by Jewish settlers had inflamed tensions.
The war has further sidelined Hamas' main political rival, the internationally backed Palestinian Authority, which oversees autonomous enclaves in the Israeli-occupied West Bank. Hamas' popularity seemed to be growing as it positioned itself as a defender of Palestinian claims to Jerusalem.
On Friday, hours after the cease-fire took effect, thousands of Palestinians in the Al-Aqsa compound chanted against Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and his self-rule government. “Dogs of the Palestinian Authority, out, out," they shouted, and "The people want the president to leave.”
It was an unprecedented display of anger against Abbas. The conflict also brought to the surface deep frustration among Palestinians, whether in the occupied West Bank, Gaza or within Israel, over the status quo, with the Israeli-Palestinian peace process all but abandoned for years.
Despite his weakened status, Abbas will be the point of contact for any renewed U.S. diplomacy, since Israel and the West, including the United States, consider Hamas a terrorist organization.
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken is to meet with Abbas and Israeli leaders when he visits in the coming week. Abbas is expected to raise demands that any Gaza reconstruction plans go through the Palestinian Authority to avoid strengthening Hamas.
Abbas met Saturday with Egyptian mediators, discussing the rebuilding of Gaza and internal Palestinian relations, according to the official Palestinian news agency Wafa.
An Egyptian diplomat said that two teams of mediators were in Israel and the Palestinian territories to continue talks on firming up a cease-fire deal and securing long-term calm.
The diplomat said discussions include implementing agreed-on measures in Gaza and Jerusalem, including ways to prevent practices that led to the latest fighting. He did not elaborate. He was apparently referring to violence at the Al-Aqsa Mosque and the planned eviction of Palestinian families from the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood in east Jerusalem.
The diplomat spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss behind-the-scenes deliberations.
Separately, a 130-truck convoy with humanitarian aid and medical supplies reached the Gaza border from Egypt on Saturday, according to a senior Egyptian official at the border crossing. He spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to reporters.
Across Gaza, an assessment of the damage to the territory's already decrepit infrastructure began.
The ministry of public works and housing said that 769 housing and commercial units were rendered uninhabitable, at least 1,042 units in 258 buildings were destroyed and just over 14,500 units suffered minor damage.
The United Nations said about 800,000 people in Gaza do not have regular access to clean piped water, as nearly 50% of the water network was damaged in the fighting.
Israel has said it was targeting Hamas' military infrastructure, including a vast tunnel system running under roads and homes, as well as command centers, rocket launchers and the homes of commanders. The Israeli military has said it was trying to minimize harm to civilians and accused Hamas of using civilians as human shields.
The Gaza Health Ministry says at least 248 Palestinians were killed, including 66 children and 39 women, with 1,910 people wounded. It does not differentiate between fighters and civilians. Twelve people were killed in Israel, all but one of them civilians, including a 5-year-old boy and 16-year-old girl.
Israel has accused Hamas and the smaller militant group of Islamic Jihad of hiding the actual number of fighters killed in the war. Prime Minister Netanyahu said Friday that more than 200 militants were killed, including 25 senior commanders.
Islamic Jihad on Saturday gave a first account of deaths within its ranks, saying that 19 of its commanders and fighters were killed, including the head of the rocket unit in northern Gaza.
