DHAKA: Rockets from Gaza hit Israel early Friday morning, breaching a cease-fire that had held for more than two days, the Israeli military said.

"Moments ago, 2 rockets fired from Gaza hit southern Israel. Terrorists have violated the cease-fire," the Israel Defense Forces wrote on Twitter.

It wasn't immediately clear how Israel would respond. The IDF pulled its ground forces out of Gaza on Tuesday but said they were maintaining "defensive positions" around the territory.

"I suspect the Israelis are going to wait to see if it was just these two rockets," said CNN's Wolf Blitzer. "These could be isolated rockets."

But if more rockets are fired from Gaza, "the Israelis will strike back," Blitzer said, reports CNN.

The two rockets landed near Eshkol in southern Israel but didn't cause any damage or casualties, the Israeli military said. It wasn't clear if it was Hamas or another militant faction in Gaza that fired them.

Earlier, negotiators in Cairo had been scrambling to extend the Gaza cease-fire, which was set to expire at 8 a.m. Friday (1 a.m. ET). A Hamas official had told supporters in Gaza City that the group was ready to resume fighting if it didn't win key concessions in the talks.

"We are ready to return to the battle if the Palestinian demands are not met in Cairo," Hamas spokesman Mosher al-Masry told a crowd of supporters waving the group's green flags.
