Islamic Jihad militants and Israel are reported to have agreed a truce brokered by Egypt, but officially talks are still in progress.
Earlier, rockets fired from Gaza reached Jerusalem for the first time since May last year.
Israel says it launched strikes due to an immediate threat from militants.
The latest violence is the most serious flare-up between Israel and Gaza since an 11-day conflict in May 2021 left more than two hundred Palestinians and a dozen Israelis dead.
However, the violence has so far been more limited as Hamas – the Islamist group that rules the Gaza Strip and which often coordinates with PIJ – has refrained from joining attacks against Israel.
Israel says the PIJ has fired hundreds of rockets in recent days, most of which have been intercepted.
