A temporary truce agreement between Israel and Hamas in Gaza has been agreed upon following lengthy mediation efforts involving Qatar, Egypt and the US.
The deal will see 50 women and children held captive in Gaza freed while “a number of Palestinian women and children detained in Israeli prisons” will also be released.
The start time for the pause in fighting will be announced within the next 24 hours and last for four days, with the possibility of extension, according to Qatar. A large number of humanitarian aid convoys will also enter the war-torn Palestinian enclave under the deal.
