The ceasefire was delayed after Israel said Hamas had failed to produce the names of the first three hostages expected to be released on Sunday under the truce.

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

A truce in the brutal war that began with the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas attacks trades 3 Israeli hostages for 100 Palestinian prisoners. No American is on the list.
