B.Wilson3 months ago
After nearly seven weeks in captivity, hostages abducted by Hamas and other groups during the Oct. 7 attack on southern Israel have been released as part of a deal that paused the fighting in the Gaza Strip.

The first group of 13 Israeli hostages — all women and children — were handed over to Israeli officials on Friday, joining five others released or rescued earlier in the fighting. Twelve of the newly released people were kidnapped from Kibbutz Nir Oz, which had about 75 people taken hostage during the initial attack. One of the 13 was taken from Kibbutz Nirim.

In addition, 10 Thais and one Filipino were also released.

Here’s what we know about the newly released Israelis.
