As part of a latest ceasefire deal, Israel and Hamas militants exchanged a second wave of prisoners within the last week. Four young Israeli soldiers held captive by the militant group were set free from Gaza City Saturday, as dozens of Palestinians were released from Ofer prison in the occupied West Bank.
Family members of the hostages burst into tears and joy as they watched their daughters being handed over to the Red Cross in Gaza, before quickly being reunited with them in person.
The women were abducted from an army base during Hamas’s Oct. 7, 2023 assault in south Israel.
The latest truce, brokered by Qatar and Egypt and backed by the U.S., is the first phase of a deal aimed at ending the 15-month war in Gaza.
Addressing the second prisoner swap Saturday, Israel Defense Forces (IDF) spokesperson Daniel Hagari reiterated that the “mission is not over until every single hostage comes home.” Ninety hostages remain in Hamas’s captivity.
