Hamas will release three hostages on Saturday in exchange for Palestinian prisoners. The hostages are Alexander Troufanov, Yair Horn, and Sagui Dekel-Chen. Israel has warned it will resume bombing if the release is delayed. Since the ceasefire began, 21 hostages have been freed in exchange for 766 Palestinian prisoners. The ceasefire remains fragile, with both sides accusing each other of violations. Israel is angered by Hamas’s public hostage handovers, while Hamas claims Israel is blocking aid to Gaza. Mediators from the US, Egypt, and Qatar are working to prevent further conflict.
