The long-awaited ceasefire between Israel and Hamas has finally come into effect, behind schedule by almost three hours, during which Israeli forces continued to strike Gaza, blaming the militant group’s failure to release the names of the hostages due to be released on Sunday.

The ceasefire finally started at 9.15am GMT, after Hamas posted the names of the three hostages on its social media channels.
