Hamas on Saturday released three more Israeli hostages, after nearly 500 days of captivity, to the humanitarian aid organisation Red Cross. The three hostages — Eli Sharabi, Or Levi and Ohad Ben Ami — were released as part of the ongoing ceasefire deal with Israel.
Ohad Ben Ami and Eli Sharabi were abducted by terror group Hamas from the Nova music festival on October 7, 2023. Eli Sharabi’s wife and children were both killed in the infamous October 7 attack. In Tel Aviv, Sharabi’s family waited with bated breath as the live broadcast of him walking out of captivity was aired today, reported news agency Associated Press.
Meanwhile, Hamas prisoners’ office said that Israel would free 183 hostages in return as part of the prisoner-hostage swap.
