In a continuation of the ceasefire agreement with Israel, Hamas released two Israeli hostages on Saturday to the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC). Israeli citizen Yarden Bibas and French-Israeli citizen Ofer Kalderon were handed over in the southern Gaza city of Khan Yunis.
The exchange was conducted smoothly and swiftly, with few onlookers present. This marks the fourth swap since the ceasefire deal was implemented, aiming to ease tensions in the region.
The ongoing ceasefire has facilitated several such releases, fostering hope among observers for a lasting peace between the involved parties. The coordinated efforts reflect a step toward mutual understanding and resolution.
