BREAKING : Hamas releases 24 hostages from Gaza after Israel truce deal

Hamas on Friday released a group of 24 hostages held in Gaza under a four-day truce agreement with Israel, a brief pause in six weeks of war that have devastated the Palestinian territory following the deadly attack by militants last month.

“We are relieved to confirm the safe release of 24 hostages,” the International Committee of the Red Cross said in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter.
