Hamas is set to free three more Israeli hostages as part of a ceasefire deal that requires Israel to release Palestinian prisoners. The truce, which began four weeks ago, was at risk due to a dispute that threatened to renew fighting.

This will be the sixth swap since the ceasefire began, with 21 hostages and over 730 Palestinian prisoners already freed.
