The Israeli military says Hamas has released 13 Israelis and four foreigners in the second round of swaps under a cease-fire deal. Late Saturday, the Israeli military said the released hostages, including four Thais, had been transferred to Israel. They were being taken to hospitals for observation and to be reunited with their families. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office says the released hostages included seven children and six women.
