Israel and Hamas reach Gaza ceasefire and hostage release deal, sources tell BBC | BBC News


Israel and Hamas have reached a ceasefire deal to end 15 months of war in Gaza, sources have told the BBC. The deal follows months of talks, with Qatar one of the key mediators.

Hamas attacked southern Israel on 7 October 2023, killing about 1,200 people and taking 251 back to Gaza as hostages.

The attack triggered a massive Israeli offensive on Gaza, during which more than 46,000 Palestinians have been killed, according to the Hamas-run health ministry.

Israel has said 94 of the hostages are still being held by Hamas, of whom 34 are presumed dead.
