  • Hamas-led militants released three more hostages to the Red Cross on Saturday, and Israel freed dozens of Palestinian prisoners as part of an agreement that paused the war in the Gaza Strip.

The article discusses a ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas, facilitated by Qatar, which led to the release of three Israeli hostages in exchange for 183 Palestinian prisoners. This exchange was part of a broader agreement that also included a temporary halt in the ongoing conflict in Gaza. The deal was aimed at providing a brief respite from the violence, allowing for the delivery of humanitarian aid into Gaza, and was seen as a step towards potentially more comprehensive peace negotiations. The specifics of the ceasefire include a four-day pause in fighting, during which time the exchanges took place, and it was hoped that this could lead to further extensions and more releases. The article also touches on the emotional and political complexities surrounding the hostage and prisoner releases, highlighting the human aspect of the conflict and the international community's reactions to the deal.
