Palestinian officials said that a ceasefire, mediated by Egypt, was reached between Israel and terrorist groups on May 6 at 4:30 a.m. local time to end a recent surge of violence in southern Israel and the Gaza Strip. But no official confirmation of such a ceasefire deal has come from Israel nor its military.
Israel has been at the receiving end of more than 600 rockets since May 3 by Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) from the Gaza Strip.
