Israel has approved the first phase of a Gaza deal which will lead to a ceasefire and the release of hostages, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office says
-
A ceasefire was due to come into effect once the Israeli cabinet had given its approval – but eyewitnesses tell the BBC there were air strikes in Khan Younis overnight
-
As part of the deal, Israel’s military must withdraw to a line that will leave it in control of about 53% of Gaza – Hamas must release 20 living hostages within 72 hours – here’s what else will happen in the coming days
-
Israel will then release about 250 Palestinian prisoners held in Israeli jails and 1,700 detainees from Gaza, a Palestinian source tells the BBC
-
Hundreds of aid lorries will also carry food, medicine and fuel to Gaza’s two million people, most of whom have been displaced, the UN says
-
This is a major moment – but it’s a ceasefire, not a peace deal, writes Lyse Doucet. The toughest issues are still on the table
