Hamas has released 17 more hostages, including 13 Israelis and four Thai citizens. It’s the second group of captives to be freed in an agreement that includes a four-day truce between Israel and Hamas.
The hostages were transferred by the International Red Cross through the Rafah border crossing from Gaza into Egypt where they were handed to the Israeli authorities.
It’s understood that 39 Palestinian prisoners held in Israel are being released in return for the latest hostages being freed.
