Hamas is set to release six Israeli hostages on Saturday. This comes as part of a deal to exchange them for hundreds of Palestinians held in Israeli prisons. The hostages have been in Gaza since Hamas's attack on Israel on October 7, 2023. Tensions are rising in Tel Aviv and the West Bank, which could jeopardize the fragile truce in Gaza. Five hostages have already been freed, with the sixth expected to be released later today.
