Israeli attacks continue despite ceasefire progress

Israel has attacked a number of locations in the past few hours, and we got reports from the Israeli military confirming that its forces would not carry out offensive operations but will only withdraw once the ceasefire takes effect.

For Palestinians, the cessation of the fighting and Israeli air raids will give a real chance and window for relief, but for now, people are still waiting to see the ceasefire take effect and to witness a full Israeli withdrawal from Gaza.

Israeli forces have been conducting preparations in order to withdraw once the Israeli government approves the ceasefire from their side.

For now, the Israeli forces are still stationed in the urban centres. They have not yet been able to withdraw, given the progress of the ceasefire deal.
