Israeli airstrikes, artillery and tank attacks continued in northern Gaza after the initial deadline of 6:30am, killing at least 13 Palestinians and wounding dozens more before the ceasefire actually took effect at 9:15am. Israel’s military said it had carried out air and artillery strikes against “terror targets”.

The first hostages held by Hamas since October 7, 2023 were released Sunday morning, with 33 hostages expected to be released in the coming weeks.
