The remaining six living hostages will be released on Saturday. This includes Hisham al-Sayed and Avera Mengisto, who were held in Gaza before the conflict began. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office confirmed a deal for the release of six hostages, increasing the number from three. Four more bodies will be returned next week.
