The Red Cross is coordinating the release of three Israeli hostages by Hamas in Gaza, as part of a ceasefire agreement. The hostages, Eli Sharabi, Ohad Ben Ami, and Or Levy, are to be traded for Palestinian prisoners.

It is believed that at least two of the six American hostages still held in Gaza are alive — Sagui Dekel-Chen, 35, who grew up in Bloomfield, Connecticut, and Edan Alexander, 19, from Tenafly, New Jersey. Four other Americans are believed to have been killed in captivity.
