Hamas will release 3 Israeli and 5 Thai hostages on Thursday as part of the Gaza ceasefire deal, Israeli officials confirmed. The Israelis set to be freed include Arbel Yehoud, 29, Agam Berger, 19, and Gadi Mozes, 80. The identities of the Thai nationals remain undisclosed. This marks the second exchange under the ongoing truce. The war, sparked by Hamas' October 7, 2023, attack, has left over 47,000 Palestinians dead and displaced 90% of Gaza’s population. The ceasefire has temporarily halted fighting, but tensions remain.
