Hamas releases three Israeli captives

Eli Sharabi, 52, Or Levy, 34, and Ohad Ben Ami, 56, have been freed from a location in Deir-el Balah in central Gaza as part of the ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas.

The captives have been taken by members of the International Committee of the Red Cross.

Hamas set up a stage in the city for the handover with dozens of masked fighters present. In exchange, Israel will release 183 Palestinian prisoners from Israeli prisons.

Ben Ami and Sharabi were both taken from Kibbutz Be’eri during the cross-border Hamas-led attack on October 7, 2023, and Levy was abducted that day from the Nova music festival.
