Israel and Hamas have come to a cease-fire agreement that will see the release of dozens of Israeli hostages 15 months after the deadly Oct. 7 terrorist attack, according to three U.S. officials, the Associated Press reported on Wednesday.

After nearly a year and a half of war in Gaza, a ceasefire and hostage deal was struck between Israel and Hamas. The deal was mediated by the United States, Egypt and Qatar and will begin this weekend.
