Egypt brokers end to Israel-Gaza flare-up - officials

A general view shows burned cars after a rocket fired from Gaza landed in Ashdod October 29, 2011. Fresh salvoes were fired on Saturday evening, wounding two Israelis and calling into question the duration of a relative lull secured by Gaza's Islamist Hamas rulers, who last week held a major, Egyptian-brokered prisoner swap with the Jewish state.

GAZA (Reuters) - Israel and Palestinian militants in Gaza will end a flare-up of violence at 6 a.m. (0400 GMT) on Sunday, Egyptian officials said.

The truce to Saturday's flare-up was secured through Cairo's mediation, an official told Reuters, after nine Palestinian gunmen and an Israeli civilian were killed in the cross-border violence.
