Israeli military spokesman Daniel Hagari announced on Sunday that the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas was postponed due to Hamas's failure to provide a list of hostages as agreed.

At the designated ceasefire time of 8:30 a.m. (0630 GMT), Israeli tanks were still shelling Gaza. Hagari explained that the political leadership instructed the military to delay the ceasefire as they waited for Hamas's compliance.

Hagari emphasized that the military is prepared for both implementing the ceasefire and responding if Hamas breaches the terms, hinting at a potential end to the 15-month conflict if conditions are met.
