Hamas releases six Israeli hostages as ceasefire continues in Gaza

Hamas has released six Israeli hostages, including two held for a decade, as a ceasefire continues. The first five were freed on Saturday, with the sixth expected to be released later. The hostages were handed over to the Red Cross in Gaza. Tensions remain high following a dispute over the remains of Shiri Bibas, an Israeli mother. Hamas initially delivered the wrong body, leading to Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu's vow of revenge. The correct remains were confirmed on Saturday. The ceasefire's first phase is nearing its end, with negotiations for a second phase expected to be challenging. Hamas has stated it will not release remaining hostages without a lasting ceasefire and Israeli withdrawal.
