Four Israeli Soldiers Freed by Hamas in Gaza Truce Agreement

The release marks the second prisoner exchange under a fragile six-week ceasefire, involving the liberation of 33 hostages and 1,900 Palestinian detainees.

  • Four Israeli women soldiers, held captive for 477 days since the October 2023 Hamas attack, were released and handed over to the Red Cross in Gaza on Saturday.
  • This exchange is part of a six-week truce agreement, with 33 Israeli hostages set to be freed in return for 1,900 Palestinian prisoners, including long-term detainee Mohammed Tous.
  • The Hamas-organized release was staged with significant propaganda efforts, including public displays and armed processions in Gaza City.
  • The truce has allowed for humanitarian aid to enter Gaza, with thousands of trucks delivering essential supplies to the devastated region.
  • Concerns remain about the truce's durability, as tensions persist and families of remaining hostages await further updates on their loved ones.
