Ceasefire goes into effect after three days of fighting
A ceasefire has officially begun, as the clock hits 11:30 p.m.
The next few hours will be key in knowing whether the ceasefire can hold and end the round of fighting after three days.
The last moments ahead of the ceasefire saw heavy rocket barrages and Israeli strikes on Gaza, but so far those have halted.
