saw several rockets fired at the beginning. you know, is there,any from the ground that they expect this to go beyond the first 24 hours or from the ground are you hearing people are on edge or nervous this could all end? >> reporter: i think that's the hope. i think on both sides of the border, what they want is a long-lasting cease-fire. but we have to take note that this is a two-stage process, if you like. for the first stage, is for both sides to cease the hostilities. cease-fire in effect. no fighting between the two sides. then the second stage of the process comes into effect. which is probably, the most difficult part of this process. under the deal, israel agreed to end hostilities and targeted killings for example. all the palestinian factions will have to stop firing rockets into israel and carrying out border attacks as well. now israel must also begin talks about opening gaza border crossings and easing restrictions on the movement of people and goods.
