GAZA/JERUSALEM—Israel launched air strikes on the Palestinian enclave of Gaza and deployed extra troops to the border on March 25 in response to the longest-range Hamas rocket attack to cause casualties in years.

After a day of intense cross-border fighting, Palestinian officials said Egypt had mediated a ceasefire, though the frontier did not remain calm for long.
