Hamas confirms it accepted ceasefire agreement, credits ‘valiant resistance’ in Gaza as reason for deal
Hamas confirms in a statement that it has accepted the outline for a hostage release-ceasefire deal with Israel, after more than 15 months of war sparked by the terror group’s deadly invasion and massacre in southern Israel on October 7, 2023.
In a statement, the terror group claims that the ceasefire is the result of “the legendary steadfastness of the great Palestinian people and the valiant resistance in the Gaza Strip.”
