Heavy Israeli bombardment reported hours after Hamas and Israel agreed ceasefire deal

The three-phase ceasefire deal promises the release of dozens of hostages held by militants in Gaza and hundreds of Palestinian prisoners in Israel.

Mediators announced that Israel and Hamas agreed to pause the devastating 15-month war in the Gaza Strip, raising the possibility of a permanent end to fighting.

This agreement aims not only to halt the violence but also to facilitate humanitarian aid delivery to the devastated territory, supporting displaced individuals.

The ceasefire will allow hundreds of thousands of people displaced in Gaza to return to what remains of their homes, marking a significant shift in the conflict.
