On the first day of a long-awaited peace agreement with Israel, three Israeli women hostages who were held by Hamas in Gaza were freed.
Although Israel believes just 57 of the 251 detainees are still alive, it claims that 91 of them are still missing 15 months after the strikes on October 7, 2023.
As part of a prior agreement between Israel and Hamas that saw a week-long ceasefire in November 2023, 81 Israelis and 24 foreigners were among the 120 prisoners who have now been released from captivity.
