Hamas released 10 Israeli hostages and two Thai nationals on Tuesday as the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas entered a fifth day, bringing the total number of released prisoners to 85. About 240 hostages were captured on October 7, when Hamas led devastating actions. Raids in Israel killed approximately 1,200 people, according to Israeli authorities.

Tuesday’s release followed the return of 11 Israelis on Monday, 13 on Sunday, 13 on Saturday and 13 on Friday, almost all of them women or children. Seventeen Thais, one Filipino and one Russian-Israeli dual citizen were also released through separate negotiations. Four other hostages were released before the ceasefire.

Israel has released 180 imprisoned Palestinians – roughly three for every Israeli hostage released – in exchange for the hostages’ release.

Israel and Hamas say at least four hostages have died in captivity. Israeli officials said three – a 19-year-old soldier, Noa Marciano; Yehudit Weiss, 65; and Ravid Katz, 51 – were killed by their captors. Arye Zalmanovich, 86, died after a heart attack, Hamas said.

Israel and Hamas agreed Monday to extend their ceasefire to six days – through at least Wednesday – to allow the release of more Israeli hostages and captured Palestinians, and to allow more humanitarian aid to flow into the Gaza Strip, where thousands Gaza residents have been detained. deaths and conditions for the living have deteriorated to the point of catastrophe.

Since the ceasefire began, Israel has continued its escalation of nighttime attacks in East Jerusalem and the occupied West Bank, with at least 71 Palestinians arrested since November 24, according to the Israeli military. The Palestinian Authority’s Prisoners’ Affairs Committee estimates the number of those arrested at 112 or more, including women, children and the elderly.
