Emily Damari is among the first three Israeli hostages expected to be released by Hamas today - as the long-anticipated Gaza ceasefire deal finally comes into effect. Displaced Palestinians began to pick up the pieces of their lives as Israeli forces began to withdraw from parts of Gaza.
Hamas has handed over the first three hostages under a ceasefire deal that has put an end, for now, to 15 months of bitter war in Gaza. They were released to the Red Cross and are now with Israeli forces. The Red Cross said the three women are in good health, an Israeli official told the Reuters news agency. Among those expected to be released was Emily Damari, a 28-year-old British-Israeli woman.
Medics reported tanks firing at the Zeitoun area in Gaza City, and said an airstrike and tank fire also hit the northern town of Beit Hanoun, sending residents who had returned there in anticipation of the ceasefire fleeing. Sky's Middle East correspondent Alistair Bunkall said he understood these technical issues may have been related to Hamas's difficulties passing messages between its leadership in Gaza.
