Hamas freed the last 20 living hostages taken in its Oct. 7, 2023, attack earlier this week in exchange for the release of hundreds of Palestinian prisoners.

Mourners in Jerusalem gathered at Capt. Daniel Peretz’s funeral, where Matan Angrest, a recently released hostage, paid his respects.

The Israeli military says its double strike on a Gaza hospital that killed 20 people targeted what it believed was a Hamas surveillance camera.

Israel’s decision to take over Gaza City has met with resignation and defiance by Palestinians who have survived two years of war and repeated raids.

For many across the Middle East, the Israel-Hezbollah ceasefire came as a relief: the first major sign of progress in the region since war began more than a year ago.
