41 hostages held in Gaza have been freed as the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas enters its third and penultimate day.
Israel said it had received the new list of hostages to be released today. Hamas will release a third group of Israeli hostages in exchange for Palestinian prisoners.
Prime Minister Netanyahu's office said it had received a list of hostages to be released by Hamas on Sunday. The list was being checked by security officials and the families had been informed.
Meanwhile, last night, Hamas released 17 hostages, among them 4 Thais and 4 citizens with dual Israeli and German passports, while Israel, on the other hand, released 39 Palestinian prisoners.
The exchange on the second day of the four-day truce was delayed by hours due to claims by Hamas that Israel was violating a cease-fire agreement on prisoners and aid to Gaza.
The Palestinian Red Crescent says the Israeli army surrounded two hospitals in the occupied West Bank in a night of deadly raids.
Meanwhile, sixty-one trucks delivered food, water and emergency medical supplies to northern Gaza on Saturday. According to the United Nations, this is the largest number of trucks to reach the north since the October 7 attacks by Hamas.
International media reports that at least six Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks in the occupied West Bank since last night. Mobs have met 39 Palestinian prisoners, all women and children, in the occupied West Bank.
More than 14,800 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza since October 7. In Israel, the official death toll is 1,200.
Likewise, the number of journalists who died due to the war between Israel and Hamas has also increased. The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) states that the number of journalists and media workers killed between October 7 and November 25 is 57. According to the same source, of these, 50 are Palestinian, four Israeli and three Lebanese.
