Israeli authorities are investigating the incident to determine whether it is a terrorist attack or criminal activity. The attack occurred just hours before a ceasefire agreement reached between Hamas and Israel took effect. Hostilities have continued since the announcement of the agreement: on Saturday, January 18, the Israeli military announced that it had hit 50 targets in the Gaza Strip in the past 24 hours.
