US President Donald Trump announced that an agreement has been reached between Israel and Hamas to sign the plan for the first phase of ending the war, writes IndeksOnline.
This news has revived Palestinians' hopes for life, after two years accompanied by torture, persecution, expulsion, murder, and complete starvation.
Some took to the streets shouting and singing, others made sure to pass the news on to their relatives.

"Honestly, when I heard the news, I couldn't hold back. Tears of joy flowed down my face. Two years of bombing, terror, destruction, loss, humiliation and the constant feeling that we could die at any moment," Samer Joudeh, a displaced Gaza resident, told AFP.
According to him, real relief is now being felt.
Journalists and reporters have reported live from their locations, also paying homage to their fallen colleagues.
