The office of Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu that the ceasefire in Gaza will commence at 11:15 local time (09:15 GMT) as Hamas has shared list of hostage who will be freeded.
Israeli hostages who'll be freed by Hamas as part of the first phase of the ceasefire deal include the youngest and oldest hostages taken by Hamas on 7 October, reports the BBC.
Kfir Bibas was nine-months-old when he was first taken and has now had two birthdays whilst in captivity.
Shlomo Mantzur, 86, is the oldest hostage to have been kidnapped and is expected to be in the first wave of hostages to be released.
The ceasefire was due to start at 08:30 (06:30 GMT) on Sunday (19 January) but Israel delayed it by less than an hour to go after Hamas did not give them the list of hostages in time - Hamas says it was "due to technical field reasons"
Up until the ceasefire came into force, Israel continued to carry out strikes on Gaza, with 13 people reported by the Hamas-run civil defence agency to have been killed since the truce was meant to start.
Hamas attacked Israel on 7 October 2023, killing about 1,200 people and taking 251 back to Gaza as hostages
The attack triggered a massive Israeli offensive on Gaza, during which more than 46,800 Palestinians have been killed, according to the Hamas-run health ministry
