The Israel Defense Forces discovered a seven-kilometre Hamas tunnel in Gaza where Lt. Hadar Goldin’s body was held.

Israel discovers 7 km-long, 25 m-deep complex Hamas tunnel with 80 rooms

The Israel Defense Forces discovered a seven-kilometre Hamas tunnel in Gaza where Lt. Hadar Goldin&rsquo;s body was held.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have discovered a major Hamas tunnel in the Gaza Strip, where the body of Lieutenant Hadar Goldin had been held. Lieutenant Goldin was killed in an ambush during the 2014 Israel-Hamas war, and his remains were returned to Israel earlier this month.
On Thursday, the IDF posted a video on X showing the tunnel that had housed Goldin's body. The military said the tunnel runs beneath a densely populated area of Rafah and passes through a UNRWA (United Nations Agency for Palestinian Refugees) compound, mosques, clinics, and kindergartens.
According to the IDF, Hamas commanders used the tunnel to store weapons, plan attacks, and remain underground for extended periods. The tunnel is over seven kilometres long, 25 metres deep, and contains 80 rooms. It was uncovered by the elite Yahalom combat engineering unit in coordination with the Shayetet 13 naval commando unit.
The IDF described it as &ldquo;one of Gaza's largest and most complex underground routes, over 7 km long, ~25 meters deep, with ~80 hideouts, where abducted IDF officer Lt. Hadar Goldin was held.&rdquo; Rooms used as command posts by senior Hamas leaders, including Muhammad Shabana&mdash;killed alongside Hamas leader Mohammed Sinwar in May&mdash;were also discovered.

&nbsp;
In another X post, the IDF announced the arrest of Marwan Al-Hams, calling him &ldquo;a Hamas terrorist involved in the determination of Lt. Hadar Goldin's death.&rdquo; The military added, &ldquo;Al-Hams was also suspected of knowing the location of Lt. Goldin's burial in the &lsquo;White-Crowned&rsquo; tunnel in Rafah.&rdquo;
&ldquo;The operation in July 2025 was part of dozens of confidential operations conducted in the past 6 months to retrieve Lt. Hadar Goldin &amp; return him for burial in Israel,&rdquo; the IDF said.
Meanwhile, in ongoing developments from the Gaza war that began in October 2023, Israeli airstrikes on Thursday killed five people and injured 18 in Khan Younis in southern Gaza. Medics told Reuters that one strike on a house in Bani Suhaila east of Khan Younis killed three people, including a baby girl, and wounded 15, while another strike killed a man and injured three others in nearby Abassan town.
The strikes followed mutual accusations by Hamas and Israel of violating a nearly six-week-old truce that has become increasingly fragile.
The conflict began after Hamas-led militants attacked southern Israel on October 7, 2023, killing 1,200 people&mdash;mostly civilians&mdash;and taking 251 hostages. Israel&rsquo;s retaliatory offensive has killed over 69,000 Palestinians, also primarily civilians, according to health officials in Gaza.

The NIA has exposed a sophisticated terror plot behind the Delhi blast, revealing that the module planned drone-based and rocket-style explosive attacks before executing a suicide car bombing near Red Fort.

NIA uncovers Hamas-style drone-weaponisation plot behind Delhi blast conspiracy

The NIA has exposed a sophisticated terror plot behind the Delhi blast, revealing that the module planned drone-based and rocket-style explosive attacks before executing a suicide car bombing near Red Fort.

As the probe into the deadly Delhi blast intensifies, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) has uncovered an even more sinister terror conspiracy, revealing that the white-collar terror module behind the attack had planned to weaponise drones and develop rocket-style explosives before eventually resorting to a suicide car bomb.
Investigators said the group initially intended to carry out rocket bomb attacks across Delhi and other high-security zones, modifying drone technology to create a rocket-based explosive delivery system capable of causing large-scale casualties and panic&mdash;tactics commonly employed by outfits such as Hamas and ISIS.
The plot has drawn parallels with the Hamas attack against Israel on October 7, 2023, during which drones were used as a primary weapon of disruption and destruction.
According to sources, the terrorists attempted to create powerful drones fitted with large batteries to carry heavier bombs and cameras, planning to fly a weaponised drone over a crowded area for maximum casualties.
Many nations have been preparing for such drone-based threats, and India too has been strengthening its drone strike and anti-drone units at scale.
The NIA discovered the magnitude of this threat following two major arrests made within 48 hours.
One key suspect, Jasir Bilal Wani, alias Danish, a resident of Jammu and Kashmir, was arrested in Srinagar.
Described by the NIA as an &ldquo;active co-conspirator&rdquo; of the suicide bomber, Wani allegedly provided crucial technical support for modifying drones and attempting to build rocket-based explosives.
A political science graduate, he had been intensely radicalised by key accused Dr Umar un Nabi over several months and was being prepared as a suicide bomber.
He admitted to meeting members of the &ldquo;Doctor module&rdquo; in October last year at a mosque in Kulgam, after which he was taken to a rented accommodation near Al Falah University in Haryana&rsquo;s Faridabad.
Prior to Wani&rsquo;s arrest, the NIA had detained another suspect, Amir, also from Jammu and Kashmir, who played a crucial role in procuring the vehicle used by Dr Umar.
With these arrests, investigators were able to piece together how the module attempted to rope in multiple technical experts to execute their plan, analysing digital devices, communication trails, and suspicious procurement patterns to identify collaborators and assess the extent of the drone-weaponisation efforts.
When their rocket and drone attack plans failed, the terror group moved ahead with a car bomb.
On November 10, a Hyundai i20 packed with Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) detonated on a busy road near Delhi&rsquo;s Red Fort, killing fourteen people and injuring dozens.
The explosion took place just hours after police seized a massive cache of explosives from Faridabad-based Al Falah University, exposing what investigators have described as a highly coordinated and sophisticated attack plotted by a &ldquo;white-collar terror network.&rdquo;
The suicide bomber who drove the explosive-laden vehicle has been identified as Dr Umar un Nabi, a Kashmiri doctor associated with Al Falah University.
Several doctors and others linked to the module have been arrested, with raids continuing across Kashmir, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, and Delhi.
The NIA has stated that it is examining all angles and pursuing multiple leads as the investigation widens.

The Israeli military confirmed one of the bodies returned by Hamas does not match any known deceased hostages, intensifying pressure on the government amid ongoing exchanges under the Trump-brokered ceasefire.

Israel says Hamas handed over body that's not former hostage

The Israeli military confirmed one of the bodies returned by Hamas does not match any known deceased hostages, intensifying pressure on the government amid ongoing exchanges under the Trump-brokered ceasefire.

The Israeli military said Wednesday that one of the bodies handed over by Hamas as part of an exchange for Palestinian prisoners was not a former hostage.
After overnight forensic tests on four bodies returned on Tuesday, the army said medical officials concluded that one "does not match any of the hostages".
"Hamas is required to make all necessary efforts to return the deceased hostages," the military warned.
Since Monday, under a ceasefire agreement brokered by US President Donald Trump, Hamas has handed back 20 surviving Israeli hostages and eight bodies -- one Nepalese, six Israelis and a now unidentified eighth.
Separately, a Gaza hospital said it had received the remains of 45 Palestinians handed back by Israel.
News that one set of remains was not of someone on Israel's 28-name list of deceased former hostages will increase domestic pressure on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government to restrict aid access to Gaza.
According to public broadcaster KAN, Israel was ready to reopen the territory's Rafah border crossing to Egypt on Wednesday.
But hardliners like far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir has called for aid supplies to Gaza to be cut if Hamas fails to return the remains of soldiers still held in the territory.
Two of the Israeli bodies returned so far have been confirmed to be soldiers.

44 Palestinians were killed in Israeli air strikes on Gaza, including an attack on a school. The strikes targeted Hamas facilities.

Deadly Overnight Strikes in Gaza Leave At Least 44 Palestinians Killed, Including in School Used as Shelter
Reports from local authorities indicate that at least 44 Palestinians were killed in two Israeli air strikes on Gaza overnight, with one of the attacks targeting a school in Gaza City&rsquo;s Daraj neighborhood that was sheltering displaced families. The strikes are part of a broader intensification of Israeli military operations aimed at dismantling Hamas' military and governing capabilities, as well as securing the release of hostages taken during the October 2023 attacks.
In one of the tragic incidents, rescue workers reported that an air strike on the Fahmi Al-Jarjawi School left at least 20 people dead, most of them children, and wounded over 60 others. The school had been providing refuge to hundreds of displaced people. Mahmud Bassal, a civil defense spokesman, described the incident as a "horrific massacre" to AFP.
On the previous day, additional Israeli strikes claimed the lives of 22 people and left dozens injured across the Palestinian territory, as reported by AFP.
Israeli Military Targets &lsquo;Key Terrorists&rsquo;
In response, the Israeli military claimed responsibility for the strikes, stating they targeted a Hamas control center being used to "plan and gather intelligence for terrorist attacks against Israeli civilians and IDF troops." The military asserted that key operatives were located within a Hamas and Islamic Jihad command facility embedded in the Fahmi Al-Jarjawi School area. The IDF stated that measures were taken to minimize civilian casualties.
Israeli Operations in Gaza Continue
Despite growing international pleas to ease its blockade on aid supplies amid looming famine warnings, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reaffirmed last week that Israel intends to maintain control over the entirety of Gaza. According to Gaza&rsquo;s media office, Israel has effectively assumed control of approximately 77 percent of the enclave, employing ground forces and strategic bombardments to deter residents from returning to their homes.
The ongoing Israeli campaign, which was launched in retaliation for Hamas-led attacks on October 7, 2023, that resulted in the deaths of approximately 1,200 Israelis, has inflicted widespread devastation across Gaza, displacing nearly all of its two million residents. Estimates from Gaza health authorities report over 53,000 fatalities, many of whom are civilians, as a result of the offensive.

Hamas warns of hostage risk amid Israeli air strikes on Gaza. Escalating conflict follows October attack, leading to rising civilian casualties.

Hamas Warns Israel Amid Intensifying Conflicts

Amid rising tensions, Hamas threatens hostages' lives if Israel continues air strikes on Gaza, following their October attack with significant casualties reported.

Hamas threatens hostages' lives if Israel pursues military offensives. Escalating air strikes disrupt fragile peace, raising civilian casualties.

Palestinian operator group Hamas warned on Wednesday that hostages may be killed if Israel attempts to retrieve them by force and air strikes continue in the Gaza Strip.
The group said in a statement that it was "doing everything possible to keep the occupation's captives alive, but the random Zionist (Israeli) bombardment is endangering their lives".
"Every time the occupation attempts to retrieve its captives by force, it ends up bringing them back in coffins," it said.
Israel restarted intense air strikes across the densely populated Gaza Strip last week followed by ground operations, shattering the relative calm afforded by a January ceasefire with Hamas.
Since Israel resumed its military operations in Gaza, at least 830 Palestinians have been killed, according to the health ministry in the Hamas-run territory.
The war was sparked by the operator group's October 7, 2023, attack on Israel, which resulted in the deaths of 1,218 people, mostly civilians, according to an AFP tally based on official figures.
Israel's retaliatory military offensive has killed at least 50,183 people in Gaza, mostly civilians, according to the health ministry.

Escalating tensions as Hamas accuses Israel of ceasefire breaches, risking a fragile truce.

Hamas, Israel Ceasefire Dispute Escalates

Hamas announces release of Three captives amid ceasefire uncertainty

Escalating tensions as Hamas accuses Israel of ceasefire breaches, risking a fragile truce.

Hamas has reiterated its commitment to releasing captives held in Gaza according to a timeline established within a ceasefire agreement, amid escalating concerns that the truce is under threat following allegations of Israeli violations.
On Thursday, Hamas issued a statement affirming its intention to uphold the terms of the pact, including a prisoner exchange adhering to the specified schedule. Hamas spokesman Abdul Latif al-Qanoua affirmed to Anadolu news agency that captives would be released on Saturday, provided Israel complies with the ceasefire conditions.
Al-Qanoua criticized Israel for breaching the agreement, citing actions such as blocking the return of displaced individuals and hindering the entry of humanitarian aid. He warned that failure by Israel to adhere to the truce could jeopardize the prisoner exchange process.
Reports from AFP included a Palestinian source disclosing that mediators had secured a &ldquo;promise&rdquo; from Israel to implement a humanitarian protocol beginning Thursday morning. This protocol would facilitate the entry of construction equipment and temporary housing into Gaza.
Hamas described ongoing talks in Cairo, aimed at resolving barriers to the deal, as "positive."
Conversely, Israel has insisted that Hamas must release three living captives by Saturday or risk a resumption of hostilities. The agreement, under severe strain, faces significant hurdles.
Hamas has threatened to delay the scheduled release of captives due to reported Israeli transgressions, including shooting Palestinians in Gaza and obstructing the agreed amount of humanitarian aid.
In response, Israel has stated it would resume its military operations if the timetable for releasing captives is disrupted.
Since the ceasefire's commencement on January 19, over 92 Palestinians have been killed and more than 800 wounded by Israeli forces, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health.
A Hamas delegation arrived in Cairo on Wednesday for discussions with mediators Egypt and Qatar regarding the truce.
According to Egyptian state-linked media, heavy equipment and trucks carrying mobile homes were poised to enter Gaza, with images from AFP depicting equipment on the Egyptian border. However, Israel announced those materials would not pass through the crossing.
&ldquo;There is no entry of caravans or heavy equipment into the Gaza Strip, and there is no coordination for this,&rdquo; wrote Omer Dostri, a spokesperson for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, on X.
Hamas has previously accused Israel of delaying the delivery of the machinery necessary to clear extensive rubble throughout the area.
U.S. President Donald Trump warned earlier this week that severe consequences would ensue should Hamas fail to release all captives by noon (10:00 GMT) on Saturday.
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz indicated that renewed conflict would aim to defeat Hamas and secure the release of all hostages, aligning with President Trump's vision for Gaza.
Trump, whose return to the presidency has emboldened the Israeli far right, faced criticism over his controversial proposal to relocate Gaza's 2.3 million residents to Egypt or Jordan.
Currently in its first phase, the Gaza truce has resulted in the phased release of Israeli captives in exchange for Palestinians held in Israeli custody.

Israel has warned it will resume military operations in Gaza if hostages are not released by Saturday. Hamas has postponed the next hostage exchange, accusing Israel of violating the truce agreement.

Israel threatens to resume 'intense fighting' in Gaza if hostages not released by Saturday

Israel has warned it will resume military operations in Gaza if hostages are not released by Saturday. Hamas has postponed the next hostage exchange, accusing Israel of violating the truce agreement.

Israel threatened Tuesday to resume "intense fighting" in Gaza if hostages were not released this weekend, while Hamas insisted it remained committed to the ceasefire deal and accused Israel of violations.
Under the terms of the truce, which has largely halted more than 15 months of fighting in Gaza, captives were to be released in batches in exchange for Palestinians in Israeli custody. So far, Israel and Hamas have completed five hostage-prisoner swaps.
But the deal has come under increasing strain in recent days, prompting diplomatic efforts to salvage it and Hamas to say it was "committed to the ceasefire".
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that "if Hamas does not return our hostages by Saturday noon, the ceasefire will end, and the IDF (Israeli military) will resume intense fighting until Hamas is decisively defeated".
His threat echoed that of US President Donald Trump who said on Monday that "hell" would break loose if Hamas failed to release "all" Israeli hostages by Saturday.
The president proposed taking over Gaza and removing its more than two million residents.
"If all of the hostages aren't returned by Saturday 12 o'clock... I would say cancel it and all bets are off and let hell break out," Trump said.
He reaffirmed his deadline while hosting Jordan's King Abdullah II on Tuesday.
King Abdullah said on social media he "reiterated Jordan's steadfast position against the displacement of Palestinians", adding it was "the unified Arab position".
Senior Hamas leader Sami Abu Zuhri said Trump's remark "further complicates matters".
"Trump must remember that there is an agreement that must be respected by both parties," he told AFP.
Egypt, a US ally which borders Gaza, said Tuesday it plans to "present a comprehensive vision for the reconstruction" of the Palestinian territory which ensures residents remain on their land.
 - 'Gates of hell' -
Hamas has said it would postpone the next hostage release, scheduled for Saturday, accusing Israel of violating the deal and calling for it to fulfil its obligations.
UN chief Antonio Guterres has urged Hamas to proceed with the planned release and "avoid at all costs resumption of hostilities in Gaza".
Yemen's Huthi rebels, who are aligned with Hamas and have attacked Israel throughout the war in support of the Palestinians, said they were "ready to launch a military intervention at any time in case of escalation against Gaza".
Netanyahu did not specify whether he was referring to all captives, but his Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich called on the premier to "open the gates of hell" if Israel doesn't get back "all the hostages... by Saturday".
The far-right politician demanded the "full occupation of the Gaza Strip" and an end to all humanitarian aid.
The Israeli military said it has reinforced its troops, while hostage families rallied outside Netanyahu's office in support of the ceasefire.
"There is a deal. Go for it!" said Zahiro, whose uncle Avraham Munder died in captivity.
In Gaza, resident Adnan Qassem was praying "the ceasefire holds".
"The ruling faction in Israel wants war, and I believe there is also a faction within Hamas that wants war," said the 60-year-old from Deir el-Balah.
 - 'Humanitarian catastrophe' -
Trump's latest threat came hours after Hamas's armed wing, the Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades, said the hostage release scheduled for Saturday was postponed.
It accused Israel of failing to meet its commitments under the agreement, including on aid, and cited the deaths of three Gazans at the weekend.
But the group said "the door remains open" for the release to go ahead "once the occupation complies".
The Gaza war was triggered by Hamas's October 7, 2023 attack on Israel, which resulted in the deaths of 1,211 people, mostly civilians, according to an AFP tally of official Israeli figures.
Militants also took 251 hostages, of whom 73 remain in Gaza, including 35 the Israeli military says are dead.
The health ministry in Hamas-run Gaza says the war has killed at least 48,219 people in the territory, figures the UN considers reliable.
A UN report issued on Tuesday said that more than $53 billion will be required to rebuild Gaza and end the "humanitarian catastrophe" in the devastated territory.

The Israel-Hamas ceasefire sees 90 Palestinian prisoners released and three Israeli hostages reunited with their families. 

Israeli hostages, Palestinian detainees freed on first Gaza truce exchange

The Israel-Hamas ceasefire sees 90 Palestinian prisoners released and three Israeli hostages reunited with their families.&nbsp;

Israel released 90 Palestinian prisoners on Monday after Hamas handed over three Israeli hostages, completing the first exchange under a long-awaited truce aimed at ending more than 15 months of war in Gaza.
The three hostages released Sunday, all women, were reunited with their families and taken to hospital in central Israel where a doctor said they were in stable condition.
Hours later in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, Palestinian prisoners released by Israel left Ofer prison on buses at around 1:00 am (2300 GMT Sunday), with jubilant crowds celebrating their arrival in the nearby town of Beitunia.
As the ceasefire took effect on Sunday morning, thousands of displaced, war-weary Palestinians set off across the devastated Gaza Strip to return home.
In the northern area of Jabalia, hundreds streamed down a sandy path, heading to an apocalyptic landscape piled with rubble and destroyed buildings.
"We are finally in our home. There is no home left, just rubble, but it's our home," said Rana Mohsen, 43, back in Jabalia.
The initial 42-day truce was brokered by Qatari, US and Egyptian mediators.
It is meant to enable a surge of sorely needed humanitarian aid into Gaza, as more Israeli hostages are released in exchange for Palestinians in Israeli custody, Israeli forces leave some areas and the parties negotiate the terms of a permanent ceasefire.
 - Reunited -
The three Israeli ex-hostages, Emily Damari, Romi Gonen and Doron Steinbrecher, were taken back to Israel by security forces after Hamas fighters handed them over to the Red Cross in a bustling square in Gaza City, surrounded by a sea of people, including gunmen.
"After 471 days Emily is finally home," said her mother Mandy Damari, but "for too many other families the impossible wait continues".
Steinbrecher's family said in a statement that "our heroic Dodo, who survived 471 days in Hamas captivity, begins her rehabilitation journey today".
In central Tel Aviv, there was elation among the crowd who had waited for hours for the news of their release.
The Hostages and Missing Families Forum campaign group hailed their return as "a beacon of light", while Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said they had emerged "from darkness".
During this initial truce, 33 Israeli hostages, 31 of whom were taken by militants during Hamas's October 7, 2023 attack, are due to be returned from Gaza in exchange for around 1,900 Palestinians.
Of those, more than 230 Palestinian prisoners serving life sentences for deadly attacks against Israelis are slated for deportation, according to a list made public by Israeli authorities. Two Hamas officials said the prisoners would be deported mainly to Qatar or Turkey.
The Israel Prison Service confirmed the release of 90 prisoners early Monday.
In Beitunia, near Ofer prison, crowds cheered and chanted as buses carrying the freed inmates arrived, with some climbing atop and unfurling a Hamas flag. Others set off fireworks.
"All the prisoners being released today feel like family to us. They are part of us, even if they're not blood relatives," Amanda Abu Sharkh, 23, told AFP.
The next hostage-prisoner swap would take place on Saturday, a senior Hamas official told AFP.
 - 'Nothing left' -
Minutes after the truce began, the United Nations said the first trucks carrying desperately needed humanitarian aid had entered the Palestinian territory.
"It is imperative that this ceasefire removes the significant security and political obstacles to delivering aid," UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said.
The truce is intended to pave the way for a permanent end to the war, but a second phase has yet to be finalised.
It came into effect nearly three hours later than scheduled, and during the delay, Gaza rescuers said Israeli bombardment killed 19 people.
Thousands of Palestinians carrying tents, clothes and their personal belongings were seen going home on Sunday, after the war displaced the vast majority of Gazans, in many cases more than once.
Returning Jabalia resident Walid Abu Jiab said he found "massive, unprecedented destruction", with "nothing left" in Gaza's war-battered north.
In Deir el-Balah, in central Gaza, Umm Hasan al-Buzom, 70, said she would even "crawl my way back home" if needed.
"But we can't return for fear that the (Israeli) occupation forces might shoot at us."
Aid workers say northern Gaza was particularly hard hit, and lacked all essentials including food, shelter and water.
The World Health Organization said it was ready to pour aid into Gaza but that it would need "systematic access" across the territory to do so.
WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus later said on X that "restoring the health system in Gaza will be a complex and challenging task, given the scale of destruction".
 - 'Commitment' -
Another UN agency, the World Food Programme, said it was moving full throttle to get food to as many Gazans as possible.
"We're trying to reach a million people within the shortest possible time," the WFP's deputy executive director, Carl Skau, told AFP.
Before the war, Gaza's population stood at 2.4 million people.
On the eve of the truce, Netanyahu called the first phase a "temporary ceasefire" and said Israel had US support to return to the war if necessary.
Hamas's armed wing, the Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades, said its adherence to the truce would be "contingent on the enemy's commitment".
The war's only previous truce, for one week in November 2023, also saw the release of hostages held by militants in exchange for Palestinian prisoners.
Hamas's October 7 attack, the deadliest in Israel's history, resulted in the deaths of 1,210 people, mostly civilians, according to an AFP tally of Israeli official figures.
Of the 251 people taken hostage, 91 are still in Gaza, including 34 the Israeli military says are dead.
The truce took effect on the eve of Donald Trump's inauguration for a second term as US president.
Trump, who claimed credit for the ceasefire deal, said on US television network NBC that he had told Netanyahu the war "has to end".

Qatar and the United States brokered a ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas, including the release of hostages, with the hope of permanently ending the war in Gaza.

Qatar, US announce Gaza truce, hostage release deal

Qatar and the United States brokered a ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas, including the release of hostages, with the hope of permanently ending the war in Gaza.

Qatar and the United States announced Wednesday a ceasefire and hostage-release deal between Israel and Hamas, adding that they hoped it would pave the way for a permanent end to the war in Gaza.
After mediators said a deal had been reached, the office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the "final details" were being worked on.
Netanyahu spoke with US President Joe Biden and President-elect Donald Trump on Wednesday to thank them for their help securing the agreement, his office said.
Israeli President Isaac Herzog, who holds a largely ceremonial role, said the deal was the "right move" to bring back hostages seized during the October 7, 2023 Hamas attack that sparked the war.
That attack, the deadliest in Israeli history, resulted in the deaths of 1,210 people, mostly civilians, according to an AFP tally of official Israeli figures.
Israel's ensuing campaign has destroyed much of Gaza, killing 46,707 people, most of them civilians, according to figures from the Hamas-run territory's health ministry that the UN considers reliable.
Gaza's civil defence agency said at least 20 people were killed in Israeli strikes after the agreement was announced.
Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim al-Thani told a press conference Wednesday that the "two belligerents in the Gaza Strip have reached a deal", adding that the ceasefire between them would take effect on Sunday.
"We hope that this will be the last page of the war, and we hope that all parties will commit to implementing all the terms of this agreement," he said.
Biden, meanwhile, said he was "deeply satisfied this day has come", calling the negotiations some of the "toughest" of his career.
He added that an as-yet unfinalised second phase of the agreement would bring a "permanent end to the war", saying he was "confident" the deal would hold.
Demonstrators in Tel Aviv calling for the release of the hostages embraced as news of the agreement spread, while thousands across Gaza celebrated the reported deal.
"I can't believe that this nightmare of more than a year is finally coming to an end. We have lost so many people, we've lost everything," said Randa Sameeh, a 45-year-old displaced from her home in Gaza City.
Hamas said the ceasefire was the "result of the legendary steadfastness of our great Palestinian people and our valiant resistance in the Gaza Strip".
Pressure to put an end to the fighting had ratcheted up in recent days as mediators Qatar, Egypt and the United States intensified efforts to cement an agreement.
Qatar's Sheikh Mohammed said the three countries would monitor the implementation of the ceasefire via a body based in Cairo.
During the initial 42-day ceasefire, 33 hostages would be released, he said, "including civilian women and female recruits, as well as children, elderly people, as well as civilian ill people and wounded".
Also in the first phase, Israeli forces would withdraw from Gaza's densely populated areas to allow for the exchanges, as well as "the return of the displaced people to their residences", he said.
The number of Palestinian prisoners to be released in exchange for the Israeli hostages in the second and third phases would be "finalised" during the initial 42 days, he said.
&nbsp;
- Trump hails deal -
Biden said the deal would "surge much needed humanitarian assistance to Palestinian civilians, and reunite the hostages with their families".
In his televised remarks, Israel's Herzog said there was "no greater moral, human, Jewish, or Israeli obligation than to bring our sons and daughters back to us -- whether to recover at home, or to be laid to rest".
Palestinian militants took 251 people hostage during the October 7 attack, 94 of whom are still being held in Gaza, including 34 the Israeli military says are dead.
The agreement came after months of failed bids to end the deadliest war in Gaza's history, and days ahead of the inauguration of Biden's successor Trump, who hailed the deal even before it was officially announced by the White House.
Envoys from both Trump's incoming administration and Biden's outgoing one had been present at the latest negotiations.
"This EPIC ceasefire agreement could have only happened as a result of our Historic Victory in November" in the US election, Trump said on social media.
The president-elect added that his White House would "continue to work closely with Israel and our Allies to make sure Gaza NEVER again becomes a terrorist safe haven".
But one far-right member of Netanyahu's cabinet, Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, said ahead of a vote on the agreement that it was a "bad and dangerous deal for the security of the State of Israel".
&nbsp;
- Aid needed -
Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi pointed to the "importance of accelerating the entry of urgent humanitarian aid" into Gaza as he welcomed news of the deal.
Egypt's state-linked Al-Qahera news outlet cited a security source as saying coordination was "underway" to reopen the Rafah crossing on Gaza's border with Egypt to allow the entry of aid.
The UN's Palestinian refugee agency, UNRWA, facing an Israeli ban on its activities set to take effect later this month, has said it will continue providing much-needed aid.
UNRWA head Philippe Lazzarini welcomed news of the deal in a post on X.
"Many have been hoping for this moment for the past 15 months," he said. "What's needed is rapid, unhindered and uninterrupted humanitarian access and supplies to respond to the tremendous suffering caused by this war."

President-elect Donald Trump has issued a stark warning to Hamas, demanding the release of hostages held in Gaza before his January 20 inauguration. 

Trump Warns Hamas: Release Hostages Before Inauguration

President-elect Donald Trump has issued a stark warning to Hamas, demanding the release of hostages held in Gaza before his January 20 inauguration.&nbsp;

US President-elect Donald Trump has warned that &ldquo;all hell will break out in the Middle East&rdquo; if the hostages being held by Hamas are not released by Inauguration Day, repeating the threat four times.
Trump did not elaborate on what actions he might take if the captives are not released by the time he takes office.
Officials say about 100 hostages, including some Americans, who were seized on October 7, 2023, remain captive in Gaza, though they believe many of them may have died in captivity.
&ldquo;All hell will break out. If those hostages aren&rsquo;t back, I don&rsquo;t want to hurt your negotiation, if they&rsquo;re not back by the time I get into office, all hell will break out in the Middle East,&rdquo; Trump told reporters at a news conference in Mar-a-Lago, Florida.
Trump will be sworn in on January 20 as the 47th President of the United States.
He was responding to a question on the status of negotiations with Hamas on the release of American hostages. His Special Envoy to the Middle East Steven Charles Witkoff, who has just returned from the region, told reporters that they are on the verge of it.
&ldquo;I believe we&rsquo;ve been on the verge of it. I don&rsquo;t want to discuss sort of what&rsquo;s delayed it, no point in being negative in any way. But I think it&rsquo;s the president, his stature, what he&rsquo;s said he expects, the red lines he&rsquo;s put out there, that&rsquo;s driving this negotiation,&rdquo; Witkoff said.
Noting that they are making a lot of progress, he said: &ldquo;I don&rsquo;t want to say too much because I think they&rsquo;re doing a really good job back in Doha. I&rsquo;m leaving tomorrow to go back to Doha. But I think that we&rsquo;ve had some really great progress and I&rsquo;m really hopeful that by the inauguration we&rsquo;ll have some good things to announce on behalf of the president.&rdquo;
&ldquo;I actually believe that we&rsquo;re working in tandem in a really good way, but it&rsquo;s the president, his reputation, the things that he has said that are driving this negotiation. So hopefully it&rsquo;ll all work out and we&rsquo;ll save some lives,&rdquo; Witkoff said.
Negotiations between Hamas and Israel are ongoing in Qatar, with Hamas this week naming 34 hostages in Gaza &mdash; including two dual US citizens &mdash; it would be willing to release in a ceasefire deal, the National Public Radio reported.
Trump, in response to a question, warned Hamas to release all the hostages by January 20.
&ldquo;It will not be good for Hamas and it will not be good frankly for anyone. All hell will break out. I don&rsquo;t have to say anymore, but that&rsquo;s what it is. They should have given them back a long time ago &mdash; they should have never taken them. There should have never been the attack of October 7th. People forget that, but there was and many people were killed,&rdquo; he said.
&ldquo;They&rsquo;re no longer hostages. I have people from Israel and others calling, begging me to get &mdash; we also had people there from the United States just so you know. They&rsquo;re holding some so-called hostages from the US, but I&rsquo;ve had mothers come to me and fathers crying, can I get the body of their son back? Can I get the body of their daughter back?&rdquo; he said.
&ldquo;That beautiful girl where they threw her in the car, pulled her by her ponytail and threw her in the car like she was a sack of potatoes. I said, what happened to her? Sir, she&rsquo;s dead. Like a 19, 20-year-old, beautiful girl. The way they treated her,&rdquo; he said as he applauded his special envoy for the progress being made so far.
&ldquo;I tell this, I don&rsquo;t want to hurt the negotiation. If the deal isn&rsquo;t done before I take office, which is now going to be two weeks, all hell will break out in the Middle East,&rdquo; Trump said.
The Biden administration has unsuccessfully tried to help broker a ceasefire in Gaza for well over a year. The first ceasefire &ndash; weeks after the October 7 attack &ndash; saw the release of dozens of hostages, but subsequent efforts to pause the fighting and secure the release of additional hostages have gone nowhere.
