A ceasefire and prisoner exchange agreement took effect at 11.15 a.m. local time (0915GMT) on Sunday after a few hours’ delay, Anadolu news agency reported.
The ceasefire was originally scheduled to start at 8.30 a.m. local time (0630GMT), but it was delayed after Israel accused Hamas of delaying the release of a list of Israeli captives set to be released on Sunday.
Hamas said that it already submitted a list of three female Israeli captives set to be freed on Sunday.
