Ceasefire Holds as Aid Expands, Releases Loom

Gaza’s fragile ceasefire held for a second day as displaced families filtered back through ruins and Israelis rallied in Tel Aviv ahead of a planned Monday release of 48 hostages, though the government says only around 20 are believed alive. About 200 U.S. troops arrived in Israel to monitor the truce and help channel aid, as the U.N. said expanded deliveries are approved and the World Food Program prepared 145 distribution points. Israel moved to free hundreds of Palestinian prisoners and detainees while vast destruction, ongoing recoveries of bodies, and unresolved postwar control clouded the relief.
