Egyptian diplomats in Gaza have announced that Israel and Palestinian Islamic Jihad have come to a ceasefire agreement. The ceasefire went into effect on Saturday at 10 p.m. local time. According to a CNN report, an Israeli official had earlier confirmed there were "good chances" for a ceasefire. Despite this announcement, prior to the deadline, the IDF launched more airstrikes on Gaza and Israel experienced at least seven siren warnings due to rockets being fired from Gaza. Reports say that some of the rockets were intercepted by Israeli air defenses. The mutual agreement followed a second death in Israel caused by rockets launched from Gaza since the hostilities began on Tuesday. Striking Islamic Jihad sites in Gaza became a defense mission for the IDF since the group is accused of planning attacks. Over 1,000 rockets have been launched at Israel so far during this "Shield and Arrow" campaign, which has killed at least 33 Palestinians in Gaza. Hamas, the largest armed group in Gaza, was not involved in this activity.
