Israeli Hostages Freed and Reunited as Gaza Truce Extended

The truce between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip has been extended for two more days, allowing for the release of more Israeli hostages and detained Palestinians. So far, Hamas has freed a total of 69 hostages, including 51 Israelis and 18 foreigners. Israel has not officially confirmed the truce extension but has approved the addition of 50 female prisoners to its list of potential releases. Clashes occurred outside the prison as Palestinians awaited the release of prisoners, resulting in one Palestinian being killed. The truce has provided some respite from the conflict, but the United Nations warns that two more days is not enough time to meet Gaza's urgent aid needs.
