Hamas has confirmed the release of 14 more Israeli hostages and three foreign nationals to the International Committee of the Red Cross in Gaza.
The Israeli army says that, based on information it has received from the Red Cross, 14 Israeli hostages and three foreign hostages have been released by Hamas.
But Hamas said they have handed over 13 Israeli hostages, three Thai nationals and one Russian to the Red Cross.
Israeli media reports that the Russian is a dual Israeli citizen, which may explain the discrepancy in numbers: the IDF has said 14 Israelis had been transferred.
Abigail Edan, a 4-year-old American-Israeli citizen abducted by Hamas on October 7, is one of the released hostages.
