Israel’s national security adviser Tzachi Hanegbi later said in a statement that discussions on the release of the hostages were continuing and that the implementation of the agreement was delayed until Friday. It was told that the agreement for the release of Palestinian citizens held in Israeli jails in exchange for the people held hostage by Hamas could not be implemented at the last moment. Due to this the ceasefire was delayed by one day. According to Israeli military data, Hamas is holding 239 people hostage in Gaza, including foreign nationals from 26 countries.

The ministry stopped releasing figures on November 11 after traffic and communications in northern Gaza were cut off. The latest figures are based on November 11 data from hospitals in the south and north. The actual death toll may be higher. 6,000 other people are missing here and are feared buried under the debris.
