Hamas releases all six hostages in latest exchange with Israel

Hamas has released all six hostages in a recent exchange with Israel, including three men taken from a music festival and two others held for nearly a decade. The release occurred amid rising tensions over a previous body handover mistake. The final hostage, Hisham Al-Sayed, was freed later on Saturday. His release follows the return of two other hostages earlier in the day. Families celebrated their return, while negotiations for a second phase of the ceasefire are expected to be challenging. Israel plans to release 620 Palestinian prisoners, including those serving life sentences. Hamas has indicated it will release more bodies next week but demands a lasting ceasefire and Israeli withdrawal for further hostage releases.
