Yarden Bibas, the father of Hamas' youngest hostage, has been released from Hamas captivity after over 480 days, but his wife and two young sons remain in Gaza with their fate unknown. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Isaac Herzog expressed their concern for the family and vowed to continue working for their release. The Hostages and Missing Families Forum also celebrated Yarden's release and pledged to demand the release of his wife and children. Yarden's release came alongside the release of two other hostages as part of the ongoing ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas.
