In Gaza, the long-awaited ceasefire has come into force after a delay of nearly three hours, and Gazans are beginning to return home.
The first three Israeli female hostages are expected to be freed later; Hamas has named them as 31-year-old Doron Steinbrecher, dual British-Israeli Emily Damari, 28, and 24-year-old Romi Gonen, who was kidnapped from the Supernova Festival.
The ceasefire, originally due to start at 08:30 (06:30 GMT) on Sunday, was delayed at the last minute after Hamas failed to give Israel the names of the three hostages in time—Hamas says it was due to “technical field reasons.”

Up until the ceasefire began, Israel continued to carry out strikes on Gaza, killing 19 people today, according to the Hamas-run civil defence agency.
Hamas attacked Israel on 7 October 2023, killing about 1,200 people and taking 251 back to Gaza as hostages.
The attack triggered a massive Israeli offensive on Gaza, during which more than 46,800 Palestinians have been killed, according to the Hamas-run health ministry.

A ceasefire deal agreed upon between Israel and Hamas has gone into effect after a nearly three-hour delay during which Israeli attacks killed at least 19 Palestinians.

In conclusion, Israel has confirmed receiving the names of the three captives to be freed on the first day of the implementation of the agreement.
