Explosions were seen on Gaza's skyline overnight into Friday (10 October) as Israel’s cabinet approved the “outline” of a peace deal.

A brief statement from Benjamin Netanyahu’s office said the Cabinet approved the “outline” of a deal to release the hostages.

Israeli government officials met on Thursday and confirmed they had approved a hostage release plan around 23:30pm BST. A ceasefire was supposed to start immediately, giving the military 24 hours to complete its withdrawal.
