Three hostages to be released on first day of Gaza ceasefire, Palestinian official tells BBC

Israel has agreed to release 1,000 Palestinian prisoners, including 190 who have been serving sentences for over a decade and a half. Hamas will release 34 hostages in that specific exchange.

With an impending hostage deal, protestors outside the IDF headquarters in Tel Aviv demand that the deal include all of the hostages, now held in captivity for over 450 days.
