Those released were Eli Sharabi, Or Levy and Ohad Ben Ami — three Israeli civilians taken by Hamas militants from southern Israel in their shock attack on Oct. 7, 2023.
In the first phase of the ceasefire, 33 Israeli hostages in Gaza will be released in exchange for almost 2,000 Palestinian prisoners held by Israel.
The ceasefire and release of hostages has sparked both hope and fear among Israelis. Many worry that the deal could collapse before all the hostages return, or that those released will arrive in poor health. Others worry that the number of captives who have died is higher than expected.
Hamas-led militants took 251 hostages during their Oct. 7, 2023, attack that launched the war in Gaza. More than 70 hostages remain in Gaza, although nearly half are believed to be dead. The others were released, rescued, or their bodies were recovered.
