Hostage Release by Hamas Amid Ceasefire Tensions

The Red Cross has reached the Gaza Strip for the release of three Israeli hostages by Hamas. This follows disputes that nearly disrupted a ceasefire agreement concluding over 15 months of conflict, initiated by Hamas's October 7 attack into Israel.

The Red Cross vehicles have reached the Gaza Strip's location where the militant group Hamas plans to release three Israeli hostages.

This anticipated release on Saturday comes after days of contention that threatened to undermine a fragile ceasefire agreement. The agreement successfully paused over 15 months of conflict.

The conflict was sparked by an aggressive incursion by Hamas into Israel on October 7, 2023.
