(CNN) -- Cheers and celebratory gunfire echoed through Gaza Tuesday after a ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas militants was announced.
It's "a day of the victories for our people," spokesman Fawhi Barhoum declared before a cheering, screaming crowd. He praised the "steadfastness and resistance" in Gaza.
"The occupiers have tried to break them... but the delegation spoke with one voice," he said of the negotiations.
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, who is not part of Hamas and lives in the West Bank, thanked "Egypt and everyone who supported all the efforts that resulted in this agreement to end the aggression."
"Together, we will rebuild our free country," he added.
