A ceasefire between Israel and Hamas has officially taken effect in Gaza, leading to the start of a phased Israeli troop withdrawal from the conflict zone. The agreement comes after days of heavy airstrikes and cross-border attacks that caused significant civilian casualties and infrastructure damage. Humanitarian corridors are being opened to allow aid into Gaza, while both sides have been urged to respect the truce. International mediators continue to push for dialogue aimed at a longer-term resolution to prevent further escalation in the region.
