Hamas Releases 3 Hostages Under Cease-Fire Agreement with Israel
Hamas released three Israeli hostages to the Red Cross on Sunday, Israeli state media reported, hours after a Gaza ceasefire took effect. Romi Gonen, 24, Emily Demari, 27, and Doron Steinbrecher, 31, were freed to the Red Cross, which will then deliver them to the Israeli Defense Forces. A crowd watched the ongoing saga in Tel Aviv, cheering as good news emerged 15 months after the Oct. 7 massacre of civilians by Hamas. Israel is expected to free some 90 Palestinian prisoners in return. Earli
