Hamas has released two Israeli hostages, out of the three expected on Saturday. Ofer Kalderon and Yarden Bibas were brought onto a stage set up in Khan Younis by the Palestinian militant group, before being taken into two vehicles belonging to the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) for transfer to Israel. Israeli-American Keith Siegel will be released at Gaza port, amid tight Hamas security.
