Palestinian militants have so far released 13 bodies of hostages held in Gaza for the past two years as part of the ceasefire agreement in the Israel-Hamas war.

U.S. Vice President JD Vance and other envoys projected optimism about Gaza’s fragile ceasefire agreement during a visit to Israel even as they acknowledged significant challenges remain.

Mourners in Jerusalem gathered at Capt. Daniel Peretz’s funeral, where Matan Angrest, a recently released hostage, paid his respects.

Families whose relatives remain hostages in Gaza are terrified their loved ones might not return after Israel launched a wave of strikes on the territory.
