Fourteen Israeli hostages and three foreign nationals have been handed over to the Red Cross in the Gaza Strip, according to a statement by the Israeli army. This comes on the third day of a temporary ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, which is also expected to result in the release of Palestinian prisoners in Israel.
The Israeli army confirmed that the hostages were transferred to the Red Cross based on information received from the organization. The Red Cross will now take responsibility for their well-being and ensure their safe return.
The ceasefire, which has allowed for the handover of the hostages, is a significant step towards de-escalating the conflict between Israel and Hamas. It provides a temporary respite from the violence and an opportunity to address humanitarian concerns.
The identities and nationalities of the foreign hostages have not been disclosed. However, their safe release is a positive development in the ongoing conflict. The Red Cross will provide them with the necessary support and assistance during this time.
