The Israeli military said Sunday (July 27, 2025) it would begin a “tactical pause” in fighting in three areas of Gaza as part of steps to address a worsening humanitarian situation.

The military said it would halt activity in Muwasi, Deir al-Balah and Gaza City from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. (12:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. IST) local time every day until further notice, beginning Sunday (July 27, 2025). The military said it was not operating in those areas, but there has been fighting and strikes in each in recent weeks.
