After days of fighting, Egyptian officials claim Israel and Palestinian Islamic Jihad have agreed to a cease-fire.

Israel and Palestinian Islamic Jihad have agreed to a ceasefire, Egyptian diplomats in Gaza said Saturday. The ceasefire was scheduled to take effect at 10 p.m. local time (3 p.m. ET), and there are "good chances" of a ceasefire with Islamic Jihad, an Israeli official told CNN. A rocket launched from Gaza killed a Palestinian man working in Israel and seriously wounded another, Israel medical authorities said Saturday, as cross-border fire showed little signs of easing. The two men were working in the Negev desert in southern Israel and were hit by shrapnel. The agreement comes near the end of a day of intense fighting, with a rocket launched from Gaza killing a Palestinian man working in Israel and seriously wounding another, Israel medical authorities said Saturday. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) launched a series of attacks on sites belonging to Islamic Jihad in the Gaza Strip, accusing the group of planning attacks and killing six of its commanders. Videos from Gaza showed that the airstrikes appeared to have hit at least two civilian homes in the northern Gaza Strip on Saturday, but no injuries were reported. The IDF said that in the last 24 hours, they struck operational residences used as headquarters and command and control centers by the Jihad terrorists. In its statement, the military said IDF fighter jets and aircraft struck launching sites for mortar shells and rockets “used by Islamic Jihad to fire projectiles towards Israel over the last few days.” Sirens sounded in areas of Israel near the region on Saturday, as Palestinian Islamic Jihad continues to fire rockets.
