Hamas Releases More Hostages on Second Day of Gaza Truce

Israel to release 39 Palestinians in exchange

On Saturday night, Hamas handed over 13 Israeli hostages and four foreigners to the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), Qatar's foreign ministry said, after a brief disruption earlier to the deal to free captives was overcome with the mediation of Qatar and Egypt.
