NBC News video showed several armed Hamas militants on top of vehicles driving through crowds and celebrating the ceasefire deal after a three-hour delay. Israel delayed the ceasefire after it said Hamas failed to produce names of the first three hostages set to be released.
A ceasefire between Israel and Hamas was delayed from going into effect Sunday morning in the Gaza Strip after Israeli officials said Hamas had yet to provide a list of names of the hostages it planned to release under the truce deal agreed days ago.
There are men, women and children on the list of 33 to be released from Gaza. Two are U.S. citizens. Israel is set to free hundreds of prisoners in exchange for them.
