CAIRO − Hamas will release the Israeli-American hostage Edan Alexander held in Gaza as a part of efforts to reach a ceasefire agreement and allow humanitarian aid to enter the besieged enclave, a senior Hamas official told Reuters on May 11.

Hamas on Tuesday (May 13) rejected Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's claim that military pressure had helped secure the release of US-Israeli hostage Edan Alexander from Ga

Israel struck a hospital in Gaza early Tuesday, a day after briefly pausing military activity for the release of Israeli-American Edan Alexander by Hamas.

As with past videos, the statements made in the footage were evidently scripted by Hamas as part of the group's campaign of psychological warfare and enacted by the hostages under extreme duress

The Israeli Air Force blasted about 60 Hamas “terror targets” across Gaza in the last day, as it continues ramping up operations in the strip amid stalled cease-fire talks.

One family said the hostages were at risk "every day" they continued to be held captive.

Amid rallies, Hostages Forum says insistence on continuing war ruinous; in latest video, hostage Yosef-Haim Ohana says Elkana Bohbot tried to harm himself, refuses to eat or drink
