Hamas released seven hostages in Gaza

Two Israeli hostages and five Thai nationals captured by Hamas were freed on Thursday following a ceasefire agreement that came into effect this month. One more hostage is set to be released, according to reports.

Seven out of eight hostages to be released Thursday were set free by Hamas in the Gaza Strip as part of the deal struck between the militant group and Israel in an ongoing ceasefire.

The Israeli army says the Red Cross has confirmed that it now has two Israelis and five Thai nationals.

Hamas is set to free one more Israeli hostage in exchange for 110 Palestinians from Israeli prisons.
