Morning update: Gaza ceasefire comes into effect

Good morning, Middle East Eye readers,

The ceasefire in Gaza has officially come into effect, ending more than 14 months of Israel's war on the Palestinian enclave, which has killed over 46,000 people.

Israel postponed the start of the ceasefire from 8.30am local time (6.30am GMT), citing a delay by Hamas in delivering the list of Israeli captives to be released today.

Israeli air strikes after 8.30am killed at least 10 Palestinians, according to local media. 

Hamas' military wing later named the three captives to be released: Romi Gonen, 24, Emily Damari, 28, and Doron Steinbrecher, 31.

Israel confirmed receiving the list and announced the start of the ceasefire at 11.15 am. 

Meanwhile, thousands of displaced Palestinians have begun to return to their homes across the Gaza Strip.
