The Israeli Prime Minister’s Office and the military said the ceasefire and hostage release deal in Gaza will take effect at 8:30am (1:30am ET) on Sunday, confirming a statement given earlier by key mediator Qatar.
“The IDF has been preparing to receive the hostages after their release from Hamas captivity and is operating to provide suitable physical and psychological support, with careful attention to every detail,” the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said on Saturday.
“Alongside the agreement and our commitment to bringing home all the hostages, the IDF will continue to operate in order to ensure the security of all Israeli citizens, particularly those in communities near the Gaza Strip,” the statement added.
