As the violence between the Israeli military and Palestinian militants in Gaza stretched into a fifth day on Saturday, Egyptian-led mediation efforts for a cease-fire were unable to stop the fighting, making this round of clashes among the longest in recent years.The fighting has remained contained because the militant group, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, has failed to draw in Hamas the more powerful Islamic militant organization that controls Gaza or any other major faction.
