Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar has confirmed the air attacks have now stopped.
The Gaza ceasefire is now in effect.
There was a delay of almost three hours this morning, when Israeli strikes on the Strip continued, killing eight people.

Their release is in exchange for dozens of Palestinian prisoners.
