Three Hostages Freed Amidst Gaza Ceasefire

Three Israeli hostages have been freed by Hamas during a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip. Handed over to the Red Cross, they are set for medical evaluation and reunion with their families after enduring 16 months in captivity.

In a significant development, Israel has confirmed the release of three hostages held by Hamas. The release is part of a broader ceasefire agreement in the volatile Gaza Strip.

The hostages, all Israeli citizens, were handed over to the Red Cross earlier Saturday. This marks a hopeful turn in ongoing tensions in the region.

Following their release, the former captives will undergo medical evaluations before reuniting with family members, bringing closure to over a year of separation.
