The Israeli military said a ceasefire in Gaza took effect at 0900 GMT on Friday, after Israel and Hamas agreed to a truce and hostage-release deal proposed by US President Donald Trump.

“IDF: The Ceasefire Agreement Came Into Effect at 12:00,” the military said in a statement.

“Since 12:00 (0900 GMT), IDF troops began positioning themselves along the updated deployment lines in preparation for the ceasefire agreement and the return of hostages.”
