A Red Cross convoy with Israeli hostages onboard leaves the Gaza Strip for Egypt via the Rafah border crossing as more hostages were released in exchange for Palestinian prisoners under an extended truce that has paused weeks of deadly fighting. The armed wing of Hamas said six Israelis had been handed over to the Red Cross in the latest release, after two women were released earlier, which the militant group said "completed" the seventh handover of hostages under the truce deal.
