Report: Hamas informed of Israel pause to Gaza operations for captive handover

A Hamas source told AFP on Monday that mediators informed the Palestinian group that Israel would pause military operations in Gaza for the handover of US-Israeli captive Edan Alexander.

"Hamas was informed that at exactly 9:30 am, Israel began halting its reconnaissance, drone, and warplane flights, as well as combat operations, to create a safe corridor for the transfer and handover of Edan," the source said.
