Armed Hamas operatives are seen parading in southern Gaza’s Rafah a short while ago, after the ceasefire with Israel was supposed to take effect, footage broadcast by Al Jazeera shows.

Israel has said that the ceasefire has not yet taken effect as Hamas has failed to provide the names of hostages to be released today.

Additional footage shows that Hamas police officers have also been deployed to the streets of Gaza.
