Hamas has confirmed it will proceed with the planned release of Israeli hostages as part of an ongoing ceasefire agreement with Israel. The organization announced that it will free additional hostages this Saturday, following the recent easing of tensions after a dispute regarding the ceasefire conditions. Reports indicate that released hostages have described severe mistreatment during their captivity, raising alarms about the welfare of those still held. The developments offer fresh hope for maintaining the fragile ceasefire, although concerns remain over potential escalations and the conditions faced by both captives and detainees.
