Separately, Al-Qahera News Channel reported that 330 aid trucks, including 20 fuel trucks, entered the Gaza Strip through crossings controlled by Israel at Al-Auja and Kerem Shalom (south).
The Gaza ceasefire agreement came into effect at 11:15 AM local time (09:15 GMT) on Sunday, after being delayed for several hours due to Israel’s accusations that Hamas delayed the release of the list of prisoners to be freed. The agreement was originally scheduled to start at 8:30 AM local time. []
