A ceasefire between Israel and the militant organisation Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) in the Gaza Strip came into force at around Sunday midnight, after both sides confirmed they agreed to it.
However, the PIJ said it was insisting on its right "to respond to any Israeli aggression". Israel also stressed that it "maintains the right to respond strongly" if the ceasefire is violated.
PIJ had fired rockets at the country in retaliation for attacks killing of its high-ranking members in the Gaza Strip.
A high-ranking delegation from Egypt had arrived in Gaza on Sunday evening, to negotiate a potential deal.
