Israel says it has received three hostages, after they were released in Gaza ceasefire | BBC News

Three Israeli hostages have been handed to the Red Cross in Gaza, before their transfer to Israel, the Israeli military confirms.

Before the handover, Hamas named them as 31-year-old Doron Steinbrecher, dual British-Israeli Emily Damari, 28, and 24-year-old Romi Gonen.

Hamas says for every hostage released, 30 Palestinian prisoners will be released from Israeli jails.

The long-awaited ceasefire in Gaza came into force after a last minute delay, with displace Palestinians beginning to return to the cities they fled.
