Israeli forces fired bullets and tear gas at Palestinian families gathered near Ofer Prison, awaiting the release of prisoners under a ceasefire deal with Hamas. The attack injured seven people and came amid heightened security measures to suppress public gatherings. Families were warned against celebrating or displaying Palestinian flags, with threats of canceling releases. This incident follows Israeli PM Netanyahu's statement reserving the "right" to resume the war on Gaza, which has claimed nearly 47,000 Palestinian lives.

The Gaza ceasefire has paused a 15-month war, allowing thousands of displaced residents to return home through rubble. Israel released Palestinian prisoners as Hamas freed hostages under a U.S.-brokered deal. With 47,000 Palestinians and 1,200 Israelis killed, the truce offers hope but raises questions about Gaza's future, reconstruction, and the region's stability after widespread devastation.

Hamas fighters took to the streets of Khan Yunis, parading triumphantly on vehicles as cheering crowds celebrated the implementation of a Gaza ceasefire agreement. The parade, marked by chants of support and displays of armed strength, follows a 15-month-long devastating conflict in the region. The ceasefire, brokered through mediators, began at 11:15 a.m. local time (09:15 GMT) on Sunday, after an initial delay. As part of the agreement, Hamas has handed over a list of three Israeli hostages, while Israel has agreed to release 90 Palestinian prisoners. This moment of celebration underscores the symbolic and strategic significance for Hamas, even as the region grapples with the humanitarian toll of the prolonged violence.

The Israel-Hamas conflict has been marked by pivotal moments of violence and tension. The war escalated dramatically on October 7, 2023, when Hamas launched a surprise attack on Israel during the Shemini Atzeret holiday, including the massacre at the Nova Music Festival. The assault, which involved a barrage of rockets and the infiltration of militants into Israel, resulted in the deaths of over 1,200 people, with families targeted in their homes in kibbutzim.
The brutal nature of this attack prompted Israel to declare a state of war, followed by a complete siege of Gaza. The humanitarian toll was staggering, with over 1.4 million Palestinians displaced in the ensuing weeks. The war continued with significant losses on both sides, including the deaths of high-ranking individuals such as Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar. On October 17, 2024, Sinwar was killed in an Israeli operation, marking a key turning point in the conflict

In a chilling propaganda display, Hamas handed released hostages bizarre āgift bagsā featuring photos of their captivity, a commemorative Gaza photo, and gold-gilded ācertificates of release.ā The released hostages, Romi Gonen, Emily Damari, and Doron Steinbrecher, described the gesture as a ācynical gameā aimed at psychological manipulation. Video footage shared by Hamas shows the hostages being escorted through Gaza City by a motorcade of armed, masked terrorists, with crowds mobbing the vehicles. Eventually handed over to the Red Cross, the hostages were transported to safety, marking the first phase of a cease-fire deal.
