After agreeing a ceasefire deal in Lebanon, Hamas is now looking for truce in Gaza, a senior official in the Palestinian group said.

“We have informed mediators in Egypt, Qatar and Turkey that Hamas is ready for a ceasefire agreement and a serious deal to exchange prisoners,” the official told AFP

A ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon took effect on Wednesday after an over a year-long battle resulting in thousands of people deaths.

The truce came into effect at 4:00 am (0200 GMT) to halt a war that has forced hundreds of thousands in Lebanon and tens of thousands of people in Israel to flee their homes.

“With the entry into force of the ceasefire agreement and based on its provisions, the IDF remains deployed in its positions inside southern Lebanon,” army spokesman Avichay Adraee said in a post on X.

“You are prohibited from heading towards the villages that the IDF has ordered to be evacuated or towards IDF forces in the area.”

US President Joe Biden announced the ceasefire agreement on Tuesday, as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said his ministers had agreed to a halt.
