Hamas has announced that they will release three Israelis, including two women and an 80-year-old man, as well as five Thai nationals in the upcoming hostage release scheduled for Thursday. The Israeli women are Arbel Yehoud, 29, and Agam Berger, 20, along with Gadi Moses. The identities of the Thai nationals have not been disclosed.
These individuals were among the foreign workers and Israeli civilians and soldiers captured during Hamas' attack on October 7, 2023, which triggered the war in Gaza. The ceasefire, which began earlier this month, has paused the 15-month conflict in Gaza.
