Hamas announces release of 3 Israeli hostages to uphold ceasefire deal

Hamas has announced the release of three Israeli hostages on Saturday as part of a weekend exchange under a fragile ceasefire. In return, Israel will release over 300 Palestinian prisoners. Tensions have risen regarding Israel’s compliance, and concerns persist about the 73 remaining hostages. The ceasefire’s first phase ends in March, with discussions for a second phase stalled. Violence in Gaza has led to significant casualties and displacement.
