The truce is the eighth since the conflict began on July 8. Israel said that fire would be held from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. local time to allow for humanitarian aid to reach Gaza’s civilian and for displaced people to return to their homes. The eastern part of Rafah was excluded from the ceasefire as the Israeli military is working to destroy a network of tunnels used by Hamas to be transported from under the border of Gaza into Israel.

Hamas Spokesperson Sam Abu Zuhri said that the truce is aimed at diverting attention from the “Israeli massacres”.

The death tally since the fighting began is now 1,835 after 27 Palestinians were killed just hours before the truce. The number of children in the death toll is particularly high at around 296.
