Hamas is due to free three Israeli hostages on Thursday in return for the release of more than 100 Palestinian prisoners, in the third exchange under a fragile truce that took effect in Gaza this month.

Hamas has set up a stage in northern Gaza’s Jabalia ahead of this morning’s planned hostage release, Palestinian media has reported. The Red Cross is preparing to receive female lookout Agam Berger, 20, female civilian Arbel Yehud, 29, Gadi Moses, 80, and five Thai nationals.
