Qatar has announced key details of the planned pause in fighting and release of Israeli hostages held by Hamas
An official says the temporary ceasefire will begin at 07:00 local time on Friday and that the first group of 13 hostages will be freed at 16:00
The pause in fighting was initially due to start earlier – but an Israeli government source said Hamas had made extra demands
In the first phase of the agreement, Hamas is due to release 50 hostages from Gaza and Israel will free 150 Palestinian prisoners
In other developments from the war, the director of al-Shifa hospital in north Gaza has been detained by Israeli authorities for questioning
Israel says it’s found evidence showing that the hospital – under his management – was a Hamas command centre; something Hamas itself has long denied
Israel began attacking Gaza after the Hamas attacks last month, which killed 1,200 people and saw about 240 taken hostage
Gaza’s Hamas-run health ministry says more than 14,000 people have been killed in Israel’s retaliatory campaign
