The ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas has seen a recent development with the release of hostages and prisoners from both sides. As part of a four-day ceasefire, Hamas released 24 hostages held captive in Gaza, and Israel reciprocated by freeing 39 Palestinians from prison. The hostages included 13 Israeli women and children, 10 people from Thailand, and one from the Philippines.

In a significant development, an Israeli hostage was confirmed to have survived, while an 84-year-old freed hostage was reported to be in critical condition. A 4-year-old American-Israeli was also among those released. However, the Israeli Defense Forces claimed that Hamas violated the truce by releasing a teenage girl without her mother.

The ceasefire has brought some respite to the 2.3 million Palestinians in Gaza, with increased supplies of food, water, medicine, and fuel beginning to roll in. However, Israel has vowed to resume its massive offensive once the truce ends.

Efforts to extend the ceasefire are underway, with Egypt, Qatar, and the US pressing for its continuation. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, addressing Israeli forces in Gaza, stated that 'nothing will stop us.' He also promised US President Biden to extend the truce by one day for each further 10 captives released.

The role of Qatari mediators in facilitating the release of hostages and prisoners has been highlighted, along with the involvement of the US and other international mediators in trying to extend the ceasefire. A US warship was also reported to be chasing down hijackers in the Middle East.
