Ceasefire in Gaza that was expected to begin today hit delays, possibly stalling the hostage release; the Israeli military continued attacks

The cease-fire agreement between Israel and Hamas in Gaza went into effect on Sunday, despite a brief delay due to Hamas failing to provide names of hostages it planned to release by the appointed time.

Gaza’s Civil Defense said 19 people were killed in the nearly three-hour delay from when the ceasefire was set to be enforced.
