There will be no bombs or drones over Gaza for another two days. Israel and Hamas have largely followed the terms of their ceasefire deal since it came into effect on Friday morning, including prisoner exchanges and the entry of humanitarian aid. But a return to violence and the end of talks remain a constant threat.
