Gaza Ceasefire Implementation

Ceasefire between Israel and Hamas took effect on Friday at 12:00, with IDF repositioning and prisoner transfers starting.
Hamas's October 7, 2023 attack killed 1,200 and took 251 hostages, sparking a war displacing 90% of Gaza's 2 million people.
Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories reported over 500 trucks entered Gaza on Friday despite closed crossings, while United Nations Children's Fund has 1,300 trucks ready with 170,000 metric tons waiting.
Shin Bet flagged 100 names, excluding 25 leaders; only 60 of 195 prisoners are Hamas members, with 48 hostages to be freed Monday.
United Nations estimates 75% of buildings destroyed; European Union and World Bank assess $49 billion in damage; questions remain about Gaza's governance and Hamas disarmament.
