"Delays and Alleged Violations Stall Second Round of Hostage Releases in Israel-Hamas Conflict"

Hamas delays the handover of hostages on the second day of the truce with Israel, citing disputes over aid and the release of Palestinian prisoners. The timing of the release is also affected by the slow entry of aid trucks into Gaza. The director of Al-Shifa Hospital in northern Gaza is still being detained by Israeli forces. Meanwhile, Israel expects 13 Israeli hostages to be released in exchange for 39 Palestinian prisoners. A UN patrol vehicle in southern Lebanon is damaged by gunfire from the Israeli military. A Polish citizen is among the hostages released on Friday, and at least 70 aid trucks have entered Gaza on the second day of the truce.
