Live Updates: Rockets fly over southern Israel, despite ceasefire
[J-Post] Israel came under heavy rocket fire Tuesday morning and all of Wednesday after the Air Force bombed a building in the Gaza Strip in a targeted strike which killed Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) Leader Bahaa Abu al-Ata.

Rocket sirens sounded in Israeli towns surrounding the Gaza Strip including Ashkelon, Ashdod and Gedera, as two different barrages of rockets slammed into Israel. As of 3 p.m. Wednesday Israel time, more than 250 rockets have been launched, dozens of which were intercepted, according to the IDF.

Live Updates Israel, Palestinian Islamic Jihad Agree to Egypt-brokered Ceasefire

[Haaretz] Israel and Palestinian Islamic Jihad reportedly agreed to a ceasefire on Thursday morning, putting a tentative end to two days of hostilities that killed at least 32 Palestinians.

Gaza factions launched massive rocket barrages at Israel for the second straight day on Wednesday, a day after Israel assassinated top Islamic Jihad commander Baha Abu al-Ata.

Thirty-one more Palestinians, including one Islamic Jihad field commander, were killed and at least 97 were wounded in Israeli strikes Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday early morning. It is as yet unclear how many of those killed were non-combatants.

As of the latest estimates, which are likely to go up significantly, Israel's Iron Dome defense system intercepted 90 percent of 300 rockets launched from Gaza. The rockets were fired as far north as Tel Aviv, shutting schools in central and southern Israel and forcing one million children to stay at home.
The Times of Israel is liveblogging here. Between the three news sites the day’s events will no doubt be covered in complete detail. ;-)

#2 Of course, the cease fire (aka hudna) was only supposed to apply to Israel. And they weren't supposed to shoot back if there were any incoming rockets.
