Egypt said Friday its efforts to halt violence in the Gaza Strip have met with "stubbornness", as it appealed to the international community to intervene to end the deadly conflict. Israel's aerial military campaign targeting rocket-firing militants in Gaza has killed at least 100 Palestinians and wounded more than 500 since it was launched early Tuesday. Egypt, which signed a peace treaty with Israel in 1979, played a key role in mediating ceasefires in past wars between the Jewish state and Hamas, the Palestinian Islamist movement that controls Gaza.
