Israeli hostages Arbel Yehoud and Gadi Mozes have been released in Gaza’s southern city of Khan Younis. They were released on Thursday by members of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad and Hamas groups, near the assassinated Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar’s home, and handed over to members of the International Committee of the Red Cross for transfer to Israel. Their release, along with that of a soldier released earlier, is in exchange for 110 Palestinian detainees, including 30 children, who are set to be freed from Israeli prisons.
