The long-awaited ceasefire in Gaza has come into force after a last-minute delay, with displaced Palestinians beginning to return to the cities they fled.
The first three Israeli female hostages are expected to be freed later – Hamas has named them as 31-year-old Doron Steinbrecher, dual British-Israeli Emily Damari, 28, and 24-year-old Romi Gonen.
A Red Cross team in the Gaza Strip is on its way to collect the hostages ahead of being handed over to Israeli authorities, Israeli media and Reuters news agency reports.
