The truce between Israel and Hamas entered its final 24 hours Monday, with signs the militant group was willing to extend the pause after it freed more hostages, including a four-year-old girl orphaned by its attack.
Tearful reunions of families and hostages, released in exchange for dozens of Palestinian prisoners, have brought the first relief in the seven-week war.
Militant group Hamas raided Israel on October 7 in the worst attack in the country’s history, prompting devastating Israeli bombardments of the Gaza Strip.
