The reports, which are also reported by Hamas-friendly media, have not been confirmed by Israel.

The agreed ceasefire between Israel and Hamas is expected to begin on Sunday at 07:30 Swedish time.

Three people will be released from Hamas captivity when the ceasefire takes effect, followed by an additional 30 people from the hostage group during the first phase, which will last for six weeks. In exchange, hundreds of Palestinians imprisoned in Israel will be released.

During the ceasefire, significantly more humanitarian aid will be allowed to flow into Gaza, after a long time where only smaller shipments have been allowed to reach their destination. Trucks are reportedly standing by in Egypt to cross the border crossing in Rafah as soon as possible.

During the initial phase of the ceasefire, further negotiations will take place on two subsequent phases. The goal is to reach a permanent end to the war.
