We cease, they fire

Despite the reported truce, two Qassam rockets and a mortar shell exploded in the area between Sha'ar Hanegev and Ashkelon Coast regional councils.What could go wrong?
No injuries or damage were reported. The Color Red alerts sounded in the area prior to the explosions.
According to the report, the truce was finalized via Egyptian mediation and without pre-conditions. However, Israeli officials denied earlier that a deal was reached, saying that airstrikes in Gaza will be halted only once rocket attacks end.
The officials did confirm that Egypt was involved in mediation efforts but said no negotiations were taking place. "Quiet will be met with quiet. Should the fire not end, we’ll see further escalation," one official said.
Home Front Defense Minister Matan Vilnai confirmed the armistice in an interview with Israel Radio, saying that while there was "an agreement in place, Israel will follow the situation on the ground."
