A mutual ceasefire between Israel and Palestinian militants in Gaza will begin in about an hour - Israel hasn't yet confirmed the exact time.
The ceasefire agreement follows a security cabinet meeting, held by Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu.

But as the ceasefire was confirmed by Israel, rockets into Southern Israel and airstrikes on Gaza continued.
