Israel and Hamas have reached a ceasefire and hostage release agreement after 15 months of conflict, according to mediators Qatar and the United States. While details are still being finalised, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu acknowledged the progress and thanked U.S. President Joe Biden for supporting the deal. Hamas leader Khalil al-Hayya attributed the agreement to the resilience of the Palestinian people.

At least 40 people have been killed in a designated humanitarian zone due to an Israeli airstrike.

Israel claims they were targeted a Hamas centre and tried to minimise civilian deaths. Hamas say they it has no presence in the area and called it ‘blatant lies’ from Israel.
