Hours before the implementation of the ceasefire agreement in Gaza, the operations of Israeli forces occupying the West Bank intensified, while Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu ordered the Israeli army not to declare a ceasefire in Gaza until Hamas releases the names of the hostages.
Qatari broadcaster Al Jazeera Arabic reported in its latest updates that Israeli forces have intensified raids in cities and towns in the occupied West Bank.
Sources told Al Jazeera Arabic that Israeli forces in Nablus raided several areas, as well as the Grand Mosque located in Sharfi Market.
Israeli forces conducted raids in various areas and opened fire during the raids, but no arrests or injuries were reported.
According to the report, Israeli forces have also established new military posts in the Tamun area.
In another update, Al Jazeera Arabic reported that the Israeli army launched attacks on central and southern Gaza, with 4 raids carried out in the northern and western areas of Rafah, south of the Gaza Strip.
According to the report, Palestinian media also reported an Israeli airstrike on a warehouse in the central city of Deir al-Balah, as well as in the southern town of Abasan, near the city of Khan Yunis. There were no immediate reports of casualties.
On the other hand, some time ago, a foreign news agency reported that Israeli forces had begun withdrawing from the Rafah areas.
According to a Reuters report, Israeli forces have begun withdrawing from the Rafah areas towards the Philadelphia Corridor, located along the border with Egypt and Gaza.
According to a Reuters report, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu has ordered the Israeli military not to declare a ceasefire in Gaza until Hamas releases the names of the hostages.
A statement from the Prime Minister's Office said the prime minister has instructed the IDF that the ceasefire, which is scheduled to take effect at 8:30 a.m. local time, will not take effect until Israel receives the list of those released that Hamas has promised to provide.
On the other hand, Hamas reacted to the issue, saying that the delay in the list of hostages was due to technical problems.
According to Israeli media, Hamas has not yet released the list of three Israeli female hostages, and the scheduled ceasefire in Gaza has passed.
It should be noted that after 15 months of Israeli aggression, the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas will come into effect today, raising hopes of stopping the genocide of Palestinians in Gaza.
After the Israeli cabinet ratified the ceasefire agreement, it confirmed in Gaza that the agreement would be fully implemented.
The Israeli Prime Minister's Office said that the government had also approved a plan to return the hostages, confirming that Israel, thanks to its firm stance, had come close to stopping the genocide of peace-seeking Palestinians.
In his first speech after the ceasefire agreement, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said, "We have changed the face of the Middle East. Our sisters and brothers are returning to their homes, and the majority of them are alive. All of this has been possible because of Israel's steadfast stance."
Netanyahu reiterated that the ceasefire agreement will not be implemented until the full list of hostages is handed over to Israel.
The Israeli prime minister added that the deal would not move forward until Israel received a list of the 33 hostages. He said that Israel reserves the right to resume fighting if necessary.
This ceasefire agreement is a significant effort to end months of bloodshed in Palestine, which could open up new possibilities for peace not only for Israel but also for the Middle East.
