An Egyptian-brokered truce has ended a two-day wave of rocket barrages and air strikes between Israel and Gaza that saw the obliteration by Israeli forces of a building that was both a treasured “cultural center” and a space used by Hamas “for military purposes.”

The five-story building was officially known as the Said Al-Mishal Foundation for Culture And Science in Gaza.
