Hamas has released three more Israeli hostages—Eli Sharabi, Ohad Ben Ami, and Or Levy—under the ongoing Gaza ceasefire deal. The hostages were handed to the Red Cross and later transferred to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). They have crossed into Israeli territory and are undergoing medical assessments. Family members say the hostages appear in poor condition. As part of the agreement, Israel is releasing 180 Palestinian prisoners. This marks the latest exchange in a deal that began on January 19, with 33 Israeli hostages set to be freed in the first phase.
