Part 2/10:
One of the day’s most significant developments was the successful release of all 20 Israeli hostages held by Hamas. According to Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) and other sources, the last 13 hostages, some of whom had been in captivity for over two years, were transferred to the Red Cross and are now en route to military checkpoints and hospitals in Tel Aviv. Visible footage showed these hostages, some walking independently—an encouraging sign of their health and resilience after enduring horrific conditions.
