Hamas and Islamic Jihad fighters handed over another 12 hostages Tuesday to the Red Cross in Gaza, part of an exchange under the terms of an extended truce in the Israel-Hamas war. Meanwhile, a French warship sent to Egypt to treat wounded from the Gaza Strip has received its first patients.
The Israeli hostages, all women, were handed over by masked and armed fighters, some from Hamas and others from Islamic Jihad, to Red Cross officials in Rafah near the border with Egypt, according to the French press agency AFP.
