Incoming rocket sirens sound in the Hof Ashkelon region of southern Israel, as reports emerge from Gaza of a potential ceasefire.

The alarms are heard in communities throughout the region, north of the Strip.

There are no immediate reports of injuries or damage.

Palestinian news outlets report that a ceasefire is due to go into effect at 3:30 p.m., at the request of Egypt.
