Hamas's armed wing, the Ezzedine Al-Qassam Brigades, confirmed it will release three Israeli hostages on Saturday, including one held by Islamic Jihad. Spokesman Abu Obeida announced the release on Telegram but did not provide names, as Israeli authorities have yet to confirm them. The exchange deal comes amid ongoing negotiations and international pressure for hostage releases. While details remain unclear, this marks another step in the broader efforts to secure the freedom of captives. The Israeli government has not commented on the announcement, and further developments are expected as the situation unfolds.
