First let's get to David Lee Miller he's live on the ground in southern Israel.

-- -- The big question of this hour is this cease fire going to hold.

We are about one mile or so from the Israeli Gaza border behind me is the city -- their wrote this is a city that has been pounded relentlessly for years.

By rocket fire and I can tell you that a short time after the cease fire took effect.

Local time and there was a rocket warning here taking place take a look over my shoulder you can see much of this city is deserted at this -- people were off the streets.

People were fearful even though there was a cease fire in place.

You could hear the obviously the horn honking their people up in the distance the sentiment in this community is that perhaps the cease fire was not the way to go.

Many Israelis right should see some Israelis especially in this community.

Wanted to harsher action taken against the Palestinians and meanwhile I can't quite.

Today.

There was for the first time since 2000 they sit in six a bomb that exploded on -- Plus someone tossed the bomb on the bus.

Some two dozen people were injured the attacker fled on foot.

The extremist group Hamas has not has not claimed responsibility for this incident but -- nevertheless.

Supporters of that group.

Are rejoicing.

Saying that.

The west should not condemn this type of attack.

Also today we have seen more air strikes leading up to the ceasefire.

In the Gaza Strip the Israeli Air Force pounding Gaza at least 120 targets were hit today.

The death told today alone leading up to this cease fire 23 Palestinians killed.

If you look at the death told right now.

In total for this conflict 158.

Palestinians killed.

And five Israelis killed right now everyone in this community Trace.

Holding their breath.

Wondering if this cease fire is going to hold one thing worth noting here is that leading up to the cease fire in the hour after it was announced it before it took place.

There was an intense barrage of rockets coming from Palestinian militants and just a short time ago apparently.

You know what might be some form of retaliation we heard what sounded like Israeli artillery possibly air strikes off in the distance yes there is a cease fire.

But no there is not at least complete quiet here on the ground.
