RAFAH, GAZA – Three Israeli captives – Alexander Trufanov, Sagui Dekel-Chen and Yair Horn – are due to be released in Gaza today in exchange for the freeing of 369 Palestinians by Israel.
Hamas says it expects indirect negotiations with Israel to start next week on the second phase of the Gaza ceasefire deal.
Gaza’s Health Ministry has confirmed 48,239 deaths in Israel’s war on Gaza while 111,676 people have been wounded. The Government Media Office has updated its death toll to at least 61,709 people, saying thousands missing under the rubble are now presumed dead.
At least 1,139 people were killed in Israel during the October 7, 2023, attacks and more than 200 were taken captive.
