"Israel-Hamas War: 10 Israeli Hostages and 2 Thai Nationals Freed from Hamas Captivity"

Ten Israeli hostages, including two Thai nationals, have been freed from Hamas captivity as part of an exchange under an extended cease-fire agreement. The hostages, all women, were handed over to the Red Cross in Gaza. The Group of Seven countries expressed support for extending the pause in fighting in Gaza to increase assistance and facilitate the release of all hostages. The U.S. airlifted over 54,000 pounds of UN humanitarian supplies to Gaza, and the UN aid chief will travel to Jordan to discuss opening a second crossing into Gaza for aid. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu emphasized the need to demilitarize and de-radicalize Gaza after defeating Hamas. The Israeli army released the names of three soldiers killed on October 7 whose bodies were taken to Gaza by Hamas.
