Summary
Hamas confirmed the release of four female Israeli soldiers — Karina Ariev, Liri Albag, Daniella Gilboa, and Naama Levy — held since the October 7, 2023 attack, in exchange for 200 Palestinian prisoners. They were delivered to the International Committee of the Red Cross and are undergoing medical assessments after reuniting with their families in Israel. This release is part of a broader ceasefire deal initiated this past Sunday, which aims to facilitate further exchanges over the next six weeks. However, tensions persist as other hostages, including civilian Arbel Yehud, remain unfreed as negotiations continue.
