GAZA: Israeli female soldier released in Gaza as part of ceasefire deal.
An Israeli female soldier has been freed from Gaza as part of the third phase of a ceasefire and prisoner swap agreement between Israel and Hamas.
The release of Agam Berger took place on Thursday as she emerged from under the rubble at the Jabalia refugee camp in Gaza that has repeatedly been targeted by Israeli forces since it launched its war on Gaza in October 2023.
Berger was the first of eight captives due to be released today, including five Thai nationals.
The release of captives on Thursday will be taking place at locations across Gaza, including outside what used to be the house of former Hamas political chief Yahya Sinwar in the southern city of Khan Younis.
It should be noted that under the Gaza ceasefire agreement, 8 hostages are being released today in exchange for the release of 110 Palestinian prisoners.
