Expectations of prolonged ceasefire in Gaza as more hostages released

There is a chance that the agreement to stop fighting between Israel and Hamas could continue. They are having discussions in Qatar to try and make a new deal.

Israel says it got a list of people held captive in Gaza and they might be set free on Wednesday, which is the sixth day of the current truce.

On Tuesday, Hamas let go of 12 hostages and Israel released 30 more Palestinian prisoners.

Ada Sagi’s son said he was very happy when his mom, who turned 75 while in Gaza, was released. He told the BBC he was “over the moon” about it.

Palestinian prisoners say they were treated badly in Israeli jails. A 14-year-old boy said he saw people being hit. Israel has not said anything about it.

Hamas went over the border and killed 1,200 people in Israel on 7 October. They also took about 240 people as hostages.

From that time, Gaza’s Hamas-led health department reports that over 14,800 people have been killed in Israel’s campaign to strike back, including around 6,000 children.
