Hostages held captive in Gaza since the October 7 attack have started to be released. The temporary ceasefire agreement between Hamas and Israel paved the way for the liberation of these innocent individuals.
Reports indicate that the first group of hostages, including Israelis, Thai citizens, and a Filipino citizen, was released on Friday. Subsequently, more hostages were freed on Saturday and Sunday, bringing hope to their families and loved ones.
On Sunday, the terrorists released 17 more hostages to the International Red Cross.
