The 72-hour cease-fire agreed upon by Israel and Hamas ended on Friday morning, when mortar shells and missiles were fired from within the Gaza Strip, towards Israeli towns.
Two Israelis were lightly wounded from a mortar shell In Shaar Hanegev Regional Council, and the IDF Home Front Command ordered the opening of all shelters within an 80 kilometer radius from the Strip.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered the IDF to respond with firepower to shooting from the Palestinian factions, and the IDF struck dozens of targets in the Strip.
Egyptian sources involved in the negotiations for a permanent cease-fire say the gaps between Israeli and Palestinians' positions remain wide.

10:37 A.M. Gaza-based medics report that Israeli airstrikes were stepping up.
Gaza Health Ministry spokesman Ashraf al-Qedra told reporters that at least one man was killed after a strike hit a mosque in the central Gaza Strip refugee camp of Nuseirat.
Residents said the airstrikes started after midnight and targeted mosques in the southern Gaza Strip towns of Rafah and Khan Youis. Houses and several open spaces were also bombed.
Israeli attacks have destroyed 63 mosques since the Gaza Strip offensive began on July 8, reported the Palestinian Ministry of Religious Affairs.
Al-Qedra also said that at least 10 Palestinians have been injured in Saturday's airstrikes, adding that two of the victims are in critical condition.
Israeli jets targeted 30 sites overnight into Saturday as the military resumed its offensive against militants in the Gaza Strip, according to a military spokeswoman.
The airstrikes resumed after minor militant groups fired dozens of rockets into Israel on Friday. The renewal of fighting came after Egypt's attempt to mediate a ceasefire failed on Thursday. On Friday, an Egyptian-brokered 72-hour ceasefire ended.
Al-Qedra said that the death toll since the beginning of the Israeli offensive had reached 1,899, with the wounded numbering around 10,000 people. (DPA)

The evening rally, the largest such protest in Amman in years, saw scores of masked youths dressed in the uniform of Izzedine al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, stage a mock military parade to the cheers of a flag-waving crowd. (Reuters)
