Israel-Hamas Ceasefire Begins with Geisel Releases and Aid Deliveries

Three Israeli hostages return home as part of a six-week truce, with humanitarian aid flowing into Gaza and further releases planned.

The six-week ceasefire mediated by Qatar, Egypt, and the US has begun, facilitating a temporary pause in hostilities between Israel and Hamas.
Three Israeli women, held hostage for 471 days, were released by Hamas and are in stable condition after medical evaluations in Israel.
Israel released 90 Palestinian detainees in exchange, with plans for further mutual releases in the coming weeks under the truce agreement.
Over 630 humanitarian aid trucks entered Gaza on the first day of the ceasefire, addressing critical shortages of food, medicine, and shelter.
Hamas has announced plans to rebuild Gaza, while the Israeli government insists Hamas must no longer govern the territory.
