The Israel Defense Forces have extended restrictions on movement and gathering for residents living up to 40 kilometers (25 miles) from the Gaza Strip to noon today (Sunday). For the rest of Israel, all restrictions will lift at 6 a.m.
The IDF says the extension of the restrictions on residents near Gaza comes after an assessment held by military officials, following renewed rocket fire from Gaza at Israel on Saturday night. The rules were supposed to end at 8 p.m. tonight after a ceasefire agreement was reached for 10 p.m.
The Home Front Command rules mandate school closures, work closures — unless employees have a bomb-safe room they can reach in time — and limits to outdoor gatherings to no more than 10 people. Indoor gatherings are restricted to 100 people in those areas.

National security adviser confirms ceasefire, says Israel will ‘defend itself’ if attacks continue
National Security Adviser Tzachi Hanegbi confirms that Israel has agreed to an Egyptian-proposed ceasefire, but warns that the military will respond to any further attacks.
In a brief statement from Netanyahu’s office, Hanegbi thanks the Egyptians for their “vigorous efforts” to negotiate an end to the fighting, and adds: “Quiet will be met with quiet, and if Israel is attacked or threatened, it will continue to do whatever it must in order to defend itself.”
