More Hamas hostages were freed Wednesday, the final day of an extended truce agreement with Israel – with at least one American included in latest exchange, according to reports.
The Red Cross has received the sixth wave of hostages, estimated at 12, who will receive medical screenings before being transferred to Israeli hospitals, the Jerusalem Post reported.
At least one American hostage is expected among the dozen, along with two hostages with Russian-Israeli citizenship, CNN reports.
The hostages were exchanged for the freedom of 30 Palestinian prisoners in Israel, including 15 women and 15 teenagers.
With the estimated 12 hostages released Wednesday, Hamas will have freed 93 hostages since the truce began on Friday, with Israel releasing 177 prisoners, all women and minors.
