Israel is negotiating a ceasefire to end Operation Breaking Dawn, with Egyptian mediation, diplomatic sources confirmed on Sunday.
Palestinian Islamic Jihad continued to launch rockets at civilian centers in southern Israel on Sunday afternoon, as the ceasefire talks took place.
Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi said on Saturday that his country was working to end the latest violence between Israel and Gaza.
Sisi said his country "made contacts with everyone around the clock in order for things to not get out of control and for fighting not to take place."
In addition, an Egyptian intelligence delegation headed by Major General Ahmed Abdelkhaliq arrived in Israel on Saturday and would be traveling to Gaza, as well.
