"Israel-Hamas truce extended, more hostages freed: Live updates"

Israel was aware of Hamas' attack plan over a year ago, according to documents, emails, and interviews reviewed by the New York Times. The document, code-named "Jericho Wall," outlined a detailed assault that Hamas carried out in October, resulting in the largest attack on Israel since its founding. Meanwhile, the truce between Israel and Hamas has been extended for a seventh day, with Israel releasing eight new hostages and counting two Israeli-Russian hostages released on Wednesday as part of the deal. Negotiations to extend the truce further are ongoing, but challenges remain as Hamas struggled to locate enough hostages to fulfill Israel's terms.
