Ceasefire Begins in Gaza: Resistance Fighters Patrolled Streets Amid Warm Public Reception.
Web Desk: After 15 months of relentless Israeli aggression, a ceasefire has finally come into effect in Gaza. Palestinian resistance fighters marked the occasion by patrolling the streets of Deir al-Balah and Khan Younis, where they were met with an enthusiastic and heartfelt welcome from the local citizens.
Videos and images released by international media show Palestinian fighters marching proudly through the streets, with residents cheering, waving, and chanting in support of their efforts. The scenes reflected the community’s resilience and unity in the face of prolonged hardship.
Ceasefire Delayed, But Hope Rekindled
Initially set to begin at 11:30 AM (Pakistan Standard Time), the ceasefire agreement faced a delay of approximately four hours. Despite the hold-up, the eventual implementation brought a sense of relief and optimism across the region.
Local reports indicate that thousands of Palestinian police officers have now been deployed to key areas, ensuring stability as Gaza begins the process of recovery. Municipal teams have also started clearing debris and reopening streets to restore normalcy to the region.
Grim Toll of the Conflict
The 15-month-long Israeli offensive left a devastating mark on Gaza. According to the Palestinian Ministry of Health, 47,899 people, including thousands of women and children, lost their lives. Over 110,000 were injured, and many remain unaccounted for.
The ceasefire is a crucial step toward peace, but the scars of war run deep. As Gaza rebuilds, its people remain steadfast, embodying strength and hope for a better future.
