The much-anticipated ceasefire between Israel and Hamas fighters in the Gaza Strip has officially taken effect as Israeli troops reposition along “updated deployment lines,” the IDF announced on Friday.
“The Ceasefire Agreement Came Into Effect at 12:00,” the IDF said in an X post. “Since 12:00, IDF troops began positioning themselves along the updated deployment lines in preparation for the ceasefire agreement and the return of hostages. IDF troops in the Southern Command are deployed in the area and will continue to remove any immediate threat.”
This is a developing story and will be updated.
