Gaza ceasefire comes into effect ahead of first hostage release
Briefly

The conflict initiated by Hamas' attack on Israel resulted in over 46,000 Palestinian casualties and over 1,600 Israeli deaths, creating a severe humanitarian crisis.
Despite a planned ceasefire, delays arose when Hamas did not initially submit a list of hostages, prompting Israeli airstrikes that further complicated the tense situation.
The ceasefire, finalized through negotiations in Doha, involved complex exchanges including the release of Israeli hostages and a significant number of Palestinian prisoners.
In the lead-up to the ceasefire, the Israeli Defense Forces repositioned troops while civilians in Gaza attempted to return to their homes amidst the crisis.
