The Israeli army opened fire in the vicinity of Al-Rantisi Hospital to prevent citizens from returning to their homes, despite the temporary ceasefire agreement entering into force on Friday morning, Al-Jazeera reported.
However, “there was no indication that it resulted in casualties”.
The temporary humanitarian truce began at seven am local time in Gaza, which is scheduled to last four days and can be extended.
The truce on its first day will witness the release of 13 detainees held by Hamas in Gaza, with the initial list including women and children.
In return, 50 Hamas hostages will be released over four days.
The release of detainees is scheduled to begin at four pm, local time in Gaza. Up to 39 prisoners in the Israeli occupation prisons will be released on the first day.
The four day ceasefire will witness the release of 150 prisoners from occupation prisons, most of whom are women and children.
The first day will witness the entry of at least 200 trucks, including 130,000 liters of fuel and four trucks of cooking gas.
The truce period includes a ceasefire on both sides. Occupation army planes will stop flying in the Gaza sky throughout the day in southern Gaza, while unmanned drones will stop flying in the north for a six hour period from 10 am to four pm.
