Four-day truce officially starts in Gaza

GAZA, Nov. 24 (YPA) – A four-day truce has taken effect in the besieged Gaza Strip after seven weeks of massacres committed by the Israeli occupation forces against Palestinians.

The truce, negotiated by Qatar, Egypt, and the United States, took effect at 7:00 am (0500 GMT) on Friday, while Palestinians, who were sheltering for weeks at UNRWA schools and hospitals in southern Gaza, began leaving to go to their homes and check what has been left of them.

Despite the entry into force of the truce, the enemy forces continued their aggression, explosions were heard in Gaza, and the enemy army fired in the vicinity of Al-Rantisi Hospital to prevent citizens from returning to their homes.

Despite this, the cities of the Gaza Strip witnessed an active movement of citizens, and with the first hours of the truce, thousands began to leave the shelters and head to their homes in the eastern areas of the Strip, especially in the south of Wadi Gaza.

The truce agreement stipulates the release of Israeli criminals held in Gaza in exchange for Palestinian prisoners. The prisoner swap will take place later in the day. The ceasefire took effect after a night of intense Israeli bombardment.

Aid trucks are supposed to enter Gaza in these four days, according to the truce agreement.
