Three more Israeli hostages and dozens of Palestinian prisoners have been released in a more organized handover process. Israeli President Isaac Herzog expressed concern for the hostages' fate and emphasized the need for their rehabilitation and return home. The release of prisoners was met with large and jubilant crowds in Ramallah. The ceasefire and hostage release agreement between Israel and Hamas has also allowed for the reopening of the Rafah crossing and the return of displaced Palestinians to their homes in northern Gaza.
