After more than a year of bloody conflict, Israel and Hamas entered into a ceasefire in Gaza.
The conflict began on October 7, 2023, when Hamas launched a deadly incursion into Israel, resulting in 1,200 deaths and 251 captives. In response, Israeli operations in Gaza led to 46,870 fatalities and the displacement of most of its 2.3 million residents. The ceasefire terms required Hamas to release all Israeli hostages, Israel to free hundreds of Palestinian prisoners, and humanitarian aid to enter Gaza.
