Hamas handed over list showing 25 hostages living, out of 33 due for release, Hamas official
Over the past two weekends, Hamas has handed over seven Israeli hostages in exchange for the release of nearly 300 Palestinians held in Israeli prisons, and preparations are already under way for a double exchange next weekend.
The Palestinians, mostly on foot, lugged what personal belongings they could manage as they headed back to see whether their one-time homes were still standing after they were forced to leave in the early stages of the war.
Some of those expected to be freed in the first phase of the ceasefire with Israel are thought to be dead.
