Jan 25, 2025, 01:00 PM
Hamas released four female Israeli soldiers on Saturday after holding them captive for 15 months, as part of a ceasefire agreement with Israel. This marks the second swap under the deal aimed at ending the 15-month-old war in Gaza. The soldiers, aged 19 to 20, were handed over to the International Committee of the Red Cross after being paraded before a crowd in Gaza City. In exchange, Israel released 200 Palestinian prisoners, as confirmed by Israel's Prison Service. The exchange comes as part of a fragile six-week ceasefire agreement that includes the exchange of hostages and prisoners. This latest development follows the initial swap of hostages and prisoners since the ceasefire took effect last weekend.
