"Since the announcement last week of an agreement between Israel and Hamas to a plan to end fighting in Gaza, Israel's military has pulled back its forces, Hamas has released all remaining living hostages and Israel has freed Palestinian prisoners. As this ceasefire begins, here are some key figures related to the war in Gaza and the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas-led attack on Israel that sparked it."
