Israel has announced the start of a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip. The ceasefire became possible after Hamas handed over a list of the first hostages to be released on January 19. About this reported the The Time of Israel.
After Hamas handed over a list of hostages scheduled to be released today, Israel said the ceasefire would take effect at 11:15 a.m.
The first phase of the ceasefire was originally scheduled to begin today at 8:30 a.m. However, it was postponed due to Hamas' delay in handing over the list of names of the three female hostages who were to be released today.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said it continued to strike Hamas terrorist targets in the Gaza Strip over the past two hours.
