October 10, 2025

PALESTINIANS in southern Gaza clapped, cheered and danced in the predawn darkness yesterday, after Israel and Hamas agreed a ceasefire deal to end the devastating two-year war in the territory.

A crowd of around a dozen young men shouted joyful chants of “Allahu akbar’, meaning God is the greatest, outside Khan Yunis's Nasser Hospital, as one man lifted another onto his shoulders.

A man wearing a journalist's press vest could also be seen carried above the crowd, speaking into a microphone.

“Thanks to God for this ceasefire, thanks for the end of the bloodshed and the killing,” said Abdelmajid Abedrabbo, a resident of south Gaza.

“Lam not the only one who is happy, all of the Gaza Strip is happy, all of the Arab people are happy about the ceasefire,” he added.

“Thanks and love to all those who stood with us and played a part in ending the bloodshed, sending you love from Gaza?
