Two elderly Israeli hostages have been released by Hamas, following Qatari-Egyptian mediation.
It comes after the terrorist group released two Americans on Friday, nearly two weeks after gunmen abducted them and dozens of others near Gaza.
Palestinians officials say 5,100 people have now been killed in the Gaza Strip since Israel’s bombing campaign was launched, around 40 percent of them children.
Attacks on the war-torn enclave continue, with the Israeli military saying that it had struck at least 320 targets in Gaza in the last 24 hours, including a tunnel housing Hamas fighters, and dozens of command and lookout posts.
The IDF said it had began more “limited raids” into Gaza to kill Hamas gunmen and search for hostages taken from southern Israel.
British-Israeli Yosef Guedalia, 22, has also been confirmed dead in Hamas’s attack on 7 October.
Guedalia was a soldier in an anti-terror unit and killed while confronting Hamas gunmen at Kibbutz Kfar Aza.
