Gaja: Israel’s cabinet has voted for a deal to secure the release of some of the hostages being held by Hamas in Gaza.
The deal was approved by Israel’s cabinet after a lengthy meeting that ran into the early hours of Wednesday. Details of the deal are still emerging.
Before the meeting, Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu said the war effort would continue even if a hostage agreement was struck.
Israel began attacking Gaza after Hamas fighters crossed the border on 7 October, killing 1,200 people and taking more than 200 others hostage.
Gaza’s Hamas-run health ministry says more than 14,000 people – including more than 5,000 children – have been killed in Israel’s campaign.
