Release of Fifth Set of Hostages Marks Progress in Israel-Hamas Truce
TL;DR Summary
The fifth round of hostage releases took place as the cease-fire between Israel and Hamas continued into its fifth day. Twelve hostages, including 10 Israelis and two Thai nationals, were released from Gaza and delivered into Israeli territory. In return, Israel released another 30 imprisoned Palestinians. The hostages released on Tuesday included three members of one family, and the majority of those released since the cease-fire began are women and children. The extension of the truce to six days allows for the release of more hostages and imprisoned Palestinians, as well as the flow of humanitarian aid into Gaza.
