Part 5/11:
Hamas Reverses Course: Resumes Hostage Releases in Gaza
Amid ongoing tensions, the Palestinian militant group Hamas announced it would proceed with the planned release of Israeli hostages, temporarily pausing a threat to suspend the ceasefire. This decision comes as a relief for international mediators and thousands of civilians caught in a fragile truce that has been in place since January, more than 15 months into the Gaza conflict.
