A senior Hamas official has said “several” Russian hostages will be released from the Gaza Strip, with the fighting paused by a humanitarian truce, AFP reports.
The agreement only covers women and children, and Hamas official Mussa Abu Marzuq has posted on X, formerly Twitter, that only one man, a Russian-Israeli dual citizen, has been freed so far.
“Today, several others will be released separately from the truce agreement in appreciation for the stance of President Putin,” he wrote.
