More Israeli hostages, Palestinian prisoners to be released Thursday
Ten Israeli hostages and 30 Palestinian prisoners are expected to be freed on Thursday as part of the extended truce between Hamas and Israel, according to Diaa Rashwan, head of Egypt's State Information Service.
Rashwan said Egyptian-Qatari mediation efforts are ongoing with the aim of further extending the truce by another two days to allow for a longer cease-fire and the release of more hostages and prisoners.
An Israeli political source told ABC News that at least eight hostages are expected to be freed by Hamas in the Gaza Strip on Thursday.
