Hamas on Friday released a group of 24 hostages held in Gaza under a four-day truce agreement with Israel, a brief pause in six weeks of war that have devastated the Palestinian territory following the deadly attack by militants last month.
“We are relieved to confirm the safe release of 24 hostages,” the International Committee of the Red Cross said in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter.
The group was made up of 13 Israelis, some of them with dual citizenship, as well as 10 Thai nationals and a citizen of the Philippines, according to the Foreign Ministry of Qatar, which helped negotiated the deal. All were women or minors.
