The Al-Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of Hamas, released on Sunday the third batch of 17 hostages from the Gaza Strip under a temporary ceasefire agreement with Israel.
"Within the framework of the humanitarian truce, we handed over to the Red Cross 13 Israeli detainees, three Thais, and one Russian," Al-Qassam said in a press statement.
Meanwhile, 39 Palestinians were released on the third day of truce.
