The Israeli military has received three hostages who have been released in the Gaza ceasefire, which began earlier on Sunday
The hostages were released by Hamas to the Red Cross in Gaza City, before being handed to the IDF, which will take them into Israel
Hamas earlier named them as 31-year-old Doron Steinbrecher, dual British-Israeli Emily Damari, 28, and 24-year-old Romi Gonen
Hamas says for every hostage released, 30 Palestinian prisoners will be released from Israeli jails.
The long-awaited ceasefire in Gaza came into force after a last-minute delay, with displaced Palestinians beginning to return to the cities they fled
In the hours the ceasefire was delayed, Israel continued hitting Gaza, killing 19 more people, according to the Hamas-run civil defence agency
Hamas attacked Israel on 7 October 2023, killing about 1,200 people and taking 251 back to Gaza as hostages
The attack triggered a massive Israeli offensive on Gaza, during which more than 46,900 Palestinians have been killed, according to the Hamas-run health ministry.
