Israeli forces declared a ceasefire and withdrew from some positions in Gaza on October 10, as thousands of displaced Palestinians began to trek home and the families of October 7 hostages awaited news. Israeli prime minister's office said that the government had "approved the framework" of a hostage release deal with Hamas, as both sides edged closer to ending more than two years of hostilities in Gaza.
