The Red Cross said on Monday it had successfully facilitated the release and transfer of a hostage who had been held in Gaza by the Palestinian resistance group Hamas to Israeli authorities.
Earlier in the day, Hamas said it had freed Israeli-American hostage Edan Alexander as fighting paused in Gaza, but there was no agreement on a wider truce or hostage release as a global hunger monitor warned of famine in the devastated enclave.
