Twenty living Israeli hostages held in Gaza are set to be released as part of a newly agreed ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas. These people were kidnapped during the militants’ attack on October 7, 2023, which has been recorded as the deadliest single-day assault in Israel’s history.
According to CNN, all the hostages still held in Gaza are set to be released as soon as Monday under the first phase of a ceasefire plan agreed by Hamas and Israel, US President Donald Trump said on Wednesday.
More than two years after Hamas and its allies kidnapped 251 people from Israel and took them to Gaza, 47 hostages remain in the enclave, with at least 20 believed to be alive. The remains of another hostage, Israel Defense Forces (IDF) soldier Hadar Goldin, have been held there since 2014, when he was killed and his body taken to the strip.
