"The ceasefire agreement entered into force at 12:00 local time (09:00 GMT)," the Army has confirmed, and the 72-hour deadline for Hamas to release the 48 hostages is now in place.
The "yellow line" within the list — which can be seen on the map shown by the White House in announcing the agreement — has been reversed by troops, and the EFE news agency has found that dozens of Gazatis have begun to move north, specifically towards the city of Gaza, taking the route of the Al Rashid coast.
On the other hand, the soldiers have left the military checkpoint in the Netzarim corridor, south of the capital.
Army spokesman Avichay Adraee said they have allowed movement from southern Gaza to northern Gaza, both from Rashid and from the Salah al-Din road, but warned that the northern part of the enclave — Beit Hanoun, Beit Lahia and Shujaiya — is still dangerous becauseof "troop agglomeration", among others.
