as posted by the channel

A group of Israeli hostages held by Hamas were released into the custody of the International Committee of the Red Cross in Gaza on Friday and are now on their way back to Israel, according to Israel's prime minister's office.

The hostages are the first to be released since a temporary cease-fire went into effect early Friday.

The hostages included 13 Israelis, according to Israeli media. Thailand also said 12 Thai nationals who had been taken hostage were released Friday. U.S. officials don't expect any Americans to be among the hostages released Friday.

As many as 39 Palestinian prisoners, expected to be women and children, could also be returned to the West Bank and Gaza on Friday.
