The Israeli army said on Tuesday it would withdraw completely from the Gaza Strip, when an agreed ceasefire with Gaza militants came into effect at 08:00 am.
The army will deploy outside Gaza in defensive positions when the three-day ceasefire begins, army spokesman Peter Lerner told journalists.
Shortly before the start of the 8:00 a.m. truce, militants in Gaza fired some 17 rockets at Israel, the Israeli army said in a statement.
"Eleven of them hit and six were intercepted by the Iron Dome over the area of Gush Dan, Ashdod, and Be'er Sheva."
In Gaza, two Palestinians succumbed to wounds sustained in earlier Israeli attacks, a health ministry spokesman said. more
