Hamas fighters took to the streets of Khan Yunis, parading triumphantly on vehicles as cheering crowds celebrated the implementation of a Gaza ceasefire agreement.
The parade, marked by chants of support and displays of armed strength, follows a 15-month-long devastating conflict in the region.
The ceasefire, brokered through mediators, began at 11:15 a.m.
Local time (09:15 GMT) on Sunday, after an initial delay.
As part of the agreement, Hamas has handed over a list of three Israeli hostages, while Israel has agreed to release 90 Palestinian prisoners.
This moment of celebration underscores the symbolic and strategic significance for Hamas, even as the region grapples with the humanitarian toll of the prolonged violence.
