In video: the latest events in Gaza in 60 seconds – Le Temps

A ceasefire agreement was announced by Hamas officials and Israel on Wednesday. A 4-day truce should be observed from Friday in the Gaza Strip. Fifty hostages, including 30 of the 40 captured children, will be released by Hamas, in exchange for at least 150 Palestinian prisoners. Israel and Hamas said they were ready to resume fighting at the end of the truce. Qatar was at the center of the talks which also included Egypt and the United States.

As the ceasefire is not yet in force, for the moment, the fighting is still ongoing. In the West Bank, more than 200 Palestinians have been killed since the start of the war, as many as in 2022, which was already the bloodiest since 2005. 1,400 people have been arrested by the Israeli army.
