From BBC News.

The Israeli military has said a ceasefire is now in effect after its forces pulled back to parts of Gaza.

Troops have positioned themselves along the lines agreed under the Trump plan, the IDF says – but will continue to "remove any immediate threat".

It comes after the Israeli government approved a deal with Hamas which will also see the release of hostages.

Hamas now has 72 hours to release all Israeli hostages, while Israel will release hundreds of Palestinian detainees.

Once the deal is operating, aid trucks will surge in to help Gaza’s two million people, most of whom have been displaced.
