Israel began to reposition troops Friday as the clock started on the first phase of an agreement for the release of hostages in exchange for Palestinian prisoners.
The statement came after Israel approved a deal between Israel and Hamas to pave the way for the release of hostages in exchange for Palestinian prisoners.
Displaced civilians returned to a landscape of rubble and ruins in Khan Younis as the Gaza ceasefire came into effect. "No signs of life are left," said one man. "Everything has been wiped out."
