The long-anticipated ceasefire came into effectthis morningjust after 11.15am local time.
It came after last-minute wobbles as Hamas failed to hand over the list of hostages due to be released.
But after a brief delay of nearly two hours, it was cleared and the ceasefire was implemented.
Hamas has claimedBritish citizen Emily Damari,28, will be one of the first released this afternoon.
Romi Gonen, 23, and Doron Steinbrecher, 30, are also to be released following a tense few hours.
According to Adam Rose, the attorney for Emily’s family, it is unclear “even on the day of her release” if the British national is “alive or dead” (The Sun).
This, he claimed, has “compounded the torture the family have been going through” since her September 7 barbaric abduction.
Mr Rose told The Sun: “Every minute is just another layer of torture.
“We don’t know if Emily is still alive or not, but her name was on the list of three hostages scheduled to be freed at 8:10 a.m.
Before being reunited with their families, the first set of released hostages will be met by medical teams and psychological support personnel at three specific locations along Gaza’s border.
On the seventh day, and then each week for the next four weeks, four additional captives will be released.
Ultimately, 14 of the 33 hostages—12 women and children, 10 men over 50, and 11 younger males—will be released in the sixth week.
On the sixteenth day of the ceasefire, negotiations will resume to seek the release of the sixty-five captives who are still in Gaza.
95 Palestinian inmates, many of whom have not been found guilty or put on trial, were freed on Sunday.
Hamas claims Israel s invasion has killed more than 47,000 Palestinians since terrorists triggered the conflict by slaughtering 1,200 civilians on October 7.
Following the announcement of the ceasefire,Israel’s foreign minister Gideon Sa’ar said in anewsconference that the deal is being carried out.
“I want to make it clear that Israel is committed to achieving all the war goals that the security cabinet determined, including the dismantling of Hamas and the return of all our hostages,” he continued.
“This war could have ended long ago if Hamas laid down its weapons and handed over our hostages.”
The foreign minister also warned that if Hamas were to stay inpowerthe “regional instability might continue” in Gaza and stressed that what happens now is a “temporary ceasefire”.
He continued: “We are determined to achieve the objectives of the war.”
The United States, Qatar, and Egypt have been working behind the scenes for more than a year to develop a ceasefire plan, and this week they announced that an agreement had been reached.
In a move toward de-escalation, the Red Cross-mediated exchange represents a moving moment in the ceasefire.
A comprehensive three-phase roadmap is also included in the ceasefire deal, which was negotiated over months of diplomatic efforts.
Critically vulnerable captives will be released during the first phase, which centers on a six-week halt in fighting.
Israeli soldiers would withdraw from major population centers in northern Gaza, allowing displaced Palestinians to return.
During this time, 600 truckloads of aid, including 50 carrying gasoline, will enter Gaza every day to meet severe humanitarian needs.
In exchange for additional prisoner releases, Hamas will release the remaining captives, who are mostly male troops, in the second phase.
When Israeli forces finish leaving Gaza, the war will have significantly de-escalated.
To guarantee that the conditions of the agreement are respected and that there are no infractions, conversations will still take place during this phase.
Reconciliation and reconstruction will be the main priorities in the last stage.

‘The Shadow’ rebuilding Hamas
By Aliki Kraterou, Senior Foreign News Reporter
YAHYA Sinwar’s brother Mohammed who has taken over as Hamas leader is said to be working to rebuild the terror group.
The younger Sinwar, dubbed “The Shadow,” is recruiting thousands of young Palestinians to form the new generation of Hamas fighters.
Even though Hamas may be seen as weakened following months of fighting, the group is working on rebuilding its terror army, a retired Israeli brigadier general has claimed.
Amir Avivi toldThe Wall Street Journal: “We are in a situation where the pace at which Hamas is rebuilding itself is higher than the pace that the [Israel Defense Forces are] eradicating them.
“Mohammed Sinwar is managing everything.”
Mohammed Sinwar replaced the mastermind behind the October 7 massacre afterYahya’s death by Israeli troops in October.
Drone footage captured the humiliating moment the Hamas boss tried to fight off a drone with a stick in a bombed-out building in the Gaza Strip before he was wiped out.
Officials feared his brother’s rise to power would bring a new level of threat as he was seen as more radical than his brother.
The WSJ reports that following Sinwar’s death, Hamas officials tried to form a collective leadership council but the terror group’s fighters opted to to operate autonomously under Mohammed.
He is believed to be around 50 years old and has been operating largely behind the scenes, earning him the nickname “Shadow.”
