(32 minutes later)
We reported earlier that Israel was sending a delegation to Egypt to discuss a ceasefire agreement, after Netanyahu's said what had been agreed already "falls short" of expectations. The US does not believe today's Israeli fire in eastern Rafah represents a "major" military operation, the Reuters news agency has quoted an unnamed US official as saying.
The Hostages Families Forum Headquarters group, has said that the delegation must not return without a signed agreement. The official said Washington was focused on heading off a major military operation into densely populated areas of Rafah and that it does not appear the Israelis are doing that.
In a short statement, the group said that it welcomed "the Prime Minister and the War Cabinet on their swift deliberation and decision to send a negotiation delegation". Other reports suggested that Israeli operations on Monday lasted around 30 minutes. We'll keep you updated however with anything that does happen, as well as analysis of the developments today. Stay with us.
It said it hoped that delegation would "exhaust Hamas's position and turn it into a deal for the return of all the hostages".
"Now is the time to demand from the negotiation team and all international partners - do not return without a signed deal," the group says.
