Hamas freed 17 captives including 14 Israeli civilians on Sunday as the precarious truce in Gaza stretched into a third day.
The hostages, who were handed over to the International Committee of the Red Cross, were the third group to be released in as many days, and included three Thai nationals, according to Hamas and the Israeli military.
The Israeli military said the Red Cross transferred 13 women and children to it “adjacent to the border fence” in the central Gaza Strip, with most of them making their way by convoy to a nearby army base and one evacuated via helicopter to hospital.
