Israel and Hamas extend truce, agree to free more hostages and prisoners
More humanitarian aid is expected to flow into Gaza over the next two days after Israel and Hamas extended a four-day ceasefire that was set to expire last night.
The original truce allowed hundreds of trucks to deliver desperately needed food, water and medical supplies to hundreds of thousands of Palestinians who have endured weeks of Israeli siege and bombardment.
During that time, Hamas freed 50 Israeli hostages from the roughly 240 hostages captured in the militant group's October 7th attack in southern Israel.
And so far, 150 Palestinians have been released from Israeli prisons in exchange.
