Meanwhile, the IDF said they struck some 100 targets in the Gaza Strip overnight and rockets fired from the coastal territory continued to set of red alert sirens in communities across the South as Israel's security cabinet met to discuss the latest cease-fire initiatives.

According to the IDF Spokesman's Office, underground rocket launching sites, weapons-smuggling tunnels and munitions warehouses were targeted in the strikes.
