Israel frees 33 more Palestinian prisoners under truce agreement | BBC News

Israel has freed 33 more Palestinian prisoners, after the release of a further 11 Israeli hostages by Hamas.

The release of 33 people means 150 Palestinians have been released since Friday – the day both sides began swapping hostages and prisoners.

Fifty-one Israeli hostages, including three-year-old-twin sisters, have been freed by Hamas as part of the deal.

Qatar has said the pause in fighting will be extended by two days, which Israel has not confirmed or denied.
